Weekly Theme: Calla Lily Twirl

I used CS4 Distort/Twirl, then masked back some details and changed opacity levels. I used a variety Topaz Adjust filters - exposure correction, mild details, simplify and erased in some areas to limit the effects. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

It's gorgeous, one of the best twirl images I've seen. The colors and the effect are top notch.:) Right above your sig. is a straight line I'd remove before print.

Cindy, this is extremely well done. A very nice effect with detail just where it needs it.

Beautiful twirl, Cindy, with perfect colors and details. Very well done! :)

Thanks so much for your comments, Denise, Ken and Christopher. I appreciate it!

Good catch with the line, Denise. thanks

I like the movement that is implied in this image. I don't know enough about the different types of finishing techniques but from what was listed that you applied - the photo looks effortless, not overworked.

Deb

Cindy, this is beautiful. I too love the movement and the effects that you have used are just right :)
Best,
Nicki

Love the flowing lines and the colours Cindy. I find myself very engaged by this picture. Very creative and colourful.

Superb, very scifi should be out in space somewhere.
