Great feeling of movement!
I'm glad you decided to show us the BW version too, it's impressive (and so cool) Lisa! ;-)

Ellie said...

Hi Lisa, these are great images. Looks like so much fun. I must learn to use photoshop sometime. I went over to have a look at Steve's blog. He has got a great blog with lots of lovely images there.

Hi Lisa ,
Impressive works of Art. Not sure which I like better.
Very Nice

TexWisGirl said...

Barb said...

Hi Lisa! I rushed right over and downloaded the action and I LOVE it! OH NO! I may have to post several! :)

PS Your art is stunning!

Leanne said...

What a difference a twirl makes! It's a beautiful effect.

Kaya said...

Lisa, these are fantastic images. The first image shows us the beauty of this flower and the second brings us into a surreal world where there are beautiful lines and colors and everything moving and changing and "dancing". And B&W image is fabulous. Twirling... I understand why it can be addictive.

Love what you shared with us. Great and very interesting.

Debbie said...

Steve said...

Thanks so much Lisa....this is SOOOOO addicting. I find myself now twirling in my head. I also find myself looking at images and imagining them TWIRLED....lol. Thanks for the links. Let's all TWIRL!!

Dorian Susan said...

Now THAT is way cool. I've yet to try or used an action other than a few I've created myself. This may just inspire me to give it a try. I love your original image and the twirl I think I prefer the color, but the black and white is awesome too.

Ruth said...

wow! amazing colours you've got going on there, or is it a flashback to the 70's? ;) I might try this one out...keep having fun!
