Spring Smoke

These actually bloom all year. :t3
One smoke image: Flipped, copied 6 for radial, Twirl, Flip/rotate. Used the resulting image to create BG with Pixel Bender - Droste, Topaz - BuzSim, Negative clarity/Color Adj. in LR.
Hardest part was keeping track of what I did. :S3:

All C&C welcome.

Beautiful, Steve!. The background fascinates me. Love the blue eyed fu manchu guys that edge the flower.

Steve, This is great! I love the glowing edges. These smoke images just keep getting better and better! Pleasing colors and I love the design.:S3:

Thanks Maureen and denise!

The BG reminds me of something but I just can't put my finger on it. :2
And thanks for helping me see those 12 smiling fellows. :bg3:

Steve, I agree with Denise. Each new one out does the last one! :5

This is a smoke mandala! vaporizes once it is created:w3... except it is not so on BPN servers... agree with Denise, it just keeps getting better and better! The bg reminds me of wrapping paper.

Thanks Andrew and Indranil!

Thanks for the idea of wrapping paper... maybe used at baby showers when the Blue/Pink could cover all possibilities. :S3:

OOTB mandala was my very first thought... :c3: My second thought involved the '60s. Love it! :bg3:
