Thanks everybody. This is a combination of 2 images. The film reel was on top of a movie theater in Pompano Beach before the 2004-5 hurricane seasons. Not sure if Francis, Jeanne or Wilma knocked it down. The sky was added and zoom blur applied to sky. Color and saturation of both layers was also applied before layers were combined.

Wow Robert...This is really great! Wonderful color and effect. You should post it on the SSS Club page.

This rework is nicely done, Bob. The image really pops now. Is that purple streak all that's left of a squashed troll? (Wishful thinking!) :)

Wow - I really, REALLY appreciate your comment - some people don't realize that others learn nothing from simply stating the word 'nice' or 'good job' or 'cool picture' - I was very informed and I'm glad you commented - on this, what program did you use?? I really like the color (which I assume you enhanced) and the beautiful curves. This picture is very bright and cheery -thanks for posting!!

Kaitlin, this is a combination of two images. Both were altered, the film reel was originally red on the edges. Hue and saturation changed. The sky was created with the radial blur in zoom mode and saturation was increased. Layers then flattened. All work was done in Photoshop.

fabulous image. I love that word -- sorry. I once had this wild looking woman look at my work and respond, "Your vork is fobulous" She said it just like that. So I use the word every time I see a really great piece of art. :)

A true abstract. Not overdone as so many abstracts tend towards. I like your light touch with the surreal.
