    A different perspective of the Chicago skyline from Buckingham Fountain. Don't try to find the skyline :2 ... but that is what the original was.

    Modification in CS4 and Topaz included; Zoom Blur, Flip, Selective Color, Vibrance & Saturation, Hue & Saturation, Adjust and Infocus.

    Enjoy!

    Mark, it almost looks like a Rorschach test. A fun effect that has a 3D-like look to it. The black frame is very smart - looks nice. Very creative.

    The last time I was in Chicago it did not look like this! Interesting interpretation and as always you have created something unique. The colors look good against the black background.

    Great abstract, Mark! The colors and lines are neat, but I really like the repeating black shapes.

    I would never have guessed this was a city skyline. I like the radiating lines of color. Interesting abstract.

    Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    Wasn't sure if I wanted to save this for the Abstract week, but hoped I could find another image to alter by then!

    Here is the original as shot, for your viewing pleasure. It was rotated 90 degrees and then also flipped to get the final image. Bottom of the original is therefore the vertical center of the final image as shown.

    Enjoy!
