Sometimes lens flare adds to the shot, as I thought this did. Just a weed growing in the yard, but the sun was setting and set it ablaze. Did an overall color wash and then played with fractalius. This is pretty far removed from photography, but I like the final results.
This is just a great example of Fractalius! This is like some great abstract art; I see a person a shooting star, fire, and then look again and see something completely different.
As the Being-of-light flew on in her search for her lost Midget, she took one backwards glance, and ther was Fractalio, extending his hand towards her, and there was Midget, safe and sound.
The flare transforms the whole shot into a miniature world where a single tree would be standing in front of the setting sun or rising moon. I like it.
Gorgeous! I love how you've used Fractalius here, the lens flare has become an electrically charged glowing orb shooting through the image leaving a light trail behind it...and the weed is just a silent observer, wondering when that glowing orb will pass by again...
wow judy . this is amazing .. love the sc feel i get from this .. almost like some alien reaching out .. it has a slightly yearning feel especially with the movement of the sun ... the colours and tones and lighting are superb .. great effect .. :)
