Taken back in August as a zoom blur w/70-200mm, ISO 100, f/16, 1/8 sec.
Cropped to offset center, Topaz Adjust color pop, Fractalius on a dupe layer
set to "darken" blend mode at 100% opacity. Final alter of overall hue to emphasize red.
Thanks for looking in and c/c

Dave, what a neat idea! I love all of it except would love to see the one black area towards the top of the frame cloned or downplayed. You might be able to eliminate it using the pucker took in Liquify.
Wonderful colors! I love the way the light seems to radiate from the center and work towards the edges.

Love the colors and treatment Dave. The Fractalius program really adds some eye-opening excitement to the image.
