Point of Origin
Uploaded: December 06, 2007
A single leaf that had fallen on to some burned off ground. Late afternoon backlight. Used gassian blur on the background, tweaked the brightness and saturation of the leaf and applied sandstone texture. Then used the kaleidoscope tool for the pattern. the liquify brush in the pinch mode to pull the stems to the center. The star gradiant tool and the line gradiant tool, with a lense flare in the center.
