Zoom Wave

Straightened, used NIK Glamour Glow, and darken lighten center. Gave the streaks at the bottom extra sharpening. Frac'd.

Original.

Awesome Jackie. The impact of the wave looks great w/ the fract effect. I love the colors. Nice job.

The OP looks like shattering glass, really nicely put together and processed. Well done.

Very cool Jackie, like water sprites! I like the diagonal motion of the blur and the swirling fact effect. Good one!

I really like it. I am trying to use Frac plugin but it seems to completely obliterate everything in the image on the ones I have tried it on. What is the secret to getting one that looks like that or with just a few whatever-you-call-them showing?

This is SO cool!

Well done, Jackie. I like the OP a lot also and love the colors.

Thanks for the comments. This was actually water breaking over a log, and by the time I was finished I was pretty wet and covered in sand.:D
Judy take a base image that you like and use a preset, and then start playing around with the sliders. Denise has a good tutorial on her blog for GLOW 100. It will give you a starting point anyways. I think I must have about 15 presets in addition to the base one in Frac. Just experiment!

Nice image and application, Jackie.
