The in camera effect was using a slow shutter speed to blur the spitting sparks from the hollows of this burning eucalypt tree that I photographed during a local bushfire in December. Then I added a Fractalius drawing (B&W) effect, but felt that I needed to bring some saturation back into it.
Hope you like it.

And here is the original image. Hope it's OK to post to show the authenticity of the original from which the Fract was done.

Akos, They are both really cool looking. I like the frac. work but the orig. w/ the blaze look is nice also. Either way a nice abstract!:)

I really like the original image. I was having a difficult time determining what the original image was. The original is OOTB enough for me and the sparks are very cool...just my opinion anyway. TFS

Akos I like them both. I wonder what it would look like to blend both layers to bring out some of those really cool sparks. I remember the original (sad) post too.
