Center of attention
Uploaded: March 17, 2003
Photo of wrestling tournament was used. The center of the mat was cut out while a radial zoom blur filter was applied. The center was then pasted back to create a focus of attention.

Nice filtering. Makes me a bit dizzy looking at it, but some would argue that I was a bit dizzy to start with, LOL. Nice job. #26726Ronald Balthazor May 26, 2019
Thanks for the kind words, Penny. If the photo creates a little vertigo it may deepen the experience of actually being on the mat. #68669Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
