An abstract from a building from Frankfurt

Uploaded: May 23, 2008 09:10:40

Description

I used a fragment of the initial photo made in Frankfurt, Germany, copy-pasted it to MS Paint and made mirror images (horizontal, vertical and horizontal and vertical); in total, I used it 20 times. Then I opened it in Gimp, used the apply lens effect and then the whirl and pinch effect. Finally I softened the image a bit and made some changes in the overall image balance.
