    This is the Upper Yosemite Falls... the water was getting dispersed by the strong updraft in the vicinity creating an illusion of spiraling falls with the sunlight falling on created mist. For the processing, I used two filters - Topaz Simplify and Fractalius. Adjusted opacity and used layer masks to paint over certain portions of the original image. Hope you like it...

    Indranil, this is an interesting effect. I love the blue funnel at the top and the Topaz on the trees. Neat

    Indranil, I think this is very abstract and nice. I might tone down the FG area that is lit up if it were mine. Nice work!

    Indranil, this is awesome!! Really nice effect. You might want to see what it looks like cropped removing the bare cliff on the bottom, or like Denise says, reduce it's impact by reducing it's tone.

    Indranil, I love how the fractalius effected the cascading water. I think it would tone it down a touch too!, But this is very cool! Very nicely done!
