Very nice. Can you talk about your technique and medium used here?
Gary Holmes replied:
Thanks, GPaul. I am a GPaul as well. This began as an experiment using the Filter Distort settings on PS4. The original photo was the same one I used for "Etude on Shadow Mountain Lake," which you can find in my Abstractions folder. It has been a while since I created this, but to the best I can recall, with PS4, I used the Filter-Distort-Wave function to create the wave patterns, then used Filter-Distort-Twirl to create the vortex. Aside from initial processing of the original to increase contrast and deepen the saturation, no other processing was used.
