 Heavily post processed. This shot was originally a diffraction of a laser beam off a door knob, as I swept back and forth against the door knob and shot a 13 sec exposure.

- rotated
- cropped
- cloned in some missing pieces of the 'sun'
- cloned/healed away subtle outlines of tile against which this shot was taken.
- Selected the 'sun', and did a levels, hue/saturation, and curves adjustment, then applied a lighting effect filter.
- Inversed selection, and again did a levels, hue/saturation, and curves adjustment and lighting effect filter.
- Applied Twirl filter to bend the diffracted laser light into a semblance of a solar flare.
- Applied a motion blur at 90 degrees to add streaks to the flare.
- Applied a render clouds filter and faded it down.
- Used pencil tool to draw stars.
- Border and signature added.
