Starry Salsify!

[Dan Brown]

This started as a closeup of the seed head of Salsify(?sp). I cropped, fracted a cupla layers, adjusted opacity, flattened, duped, opened dupe in fotosketcher and ran oilpainting. Then opened the fotosketcher file back in PS and added it as a layer to the original flattened fracted file and added a signature layer. Then on the fotosketcher layer, I used Liquify to twist the "stars" and finally, adjusted the opacity a little. C&C welcome.

Now this is FANTASTIC!!! Great OOTB thinking Dan and a beautiful wall hanger. I think the combo of filters helped you create a wonderful abstract. I even like your sig!

Great image or the weekly theme!

This is just outstanding, Dan! Love the effect of the filters and colors. Wonderful creative composition.

[Brendan Dozier]

This looks great Dan! Very creative composition and very nice touch with the procesing. Love the subtle colors and light glow to it, has a nice energy and flow to it. Reminds me kind of an artist's illustration of neuron cells firing. Very well done! (I think your signature is cool too!!)

[Dan Brown]

Thanks to all! It sure is nice to get complements from such a talented group of digital artists!

Dan, I'm very late to the show but WOW! This is fantastic - very fanciful and dreamlike to me. I love it

[Dan Brown]

Thanks, Cheryl. Much appreciated!

Dan, I don't know how I missed commenting on this image as I did see and thought it was awesome. Really nice work, love the geometry and colors, filter work, etc... High five and a glass of white wine for you. I know it looks like beer, but it's not.
