[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Took this at the Nartural History Museum in London. It is two layers of plastic with water between and air bubbles floating up. 3 sec exposure so light from bubble blurred into lines. Rotated and then I used PS blur tool to make them wavy and changed timt and saturation to combine it all to sort of look like a solar flare. The original (already rotated but otherwise nothing changed yet) is on my site here if you want to see it.

A good special effect, Thomas! It does look like a solar flare, glad you weren't burned, LOL!

hi Thomas, great shot with amazing colors !

Hi Tom,

That's quite a big difference between what you had before and where you ended up with the help of PhotoShop. I admire your creativity!

Hi Tom,
Interesting, it is like it is radiating energy! The colours add to that feeling... I like to see you're experimenting more lately! By the way, did you try to rotate this one? I did not try myself, just have a feeling that might work too... Nice job!
Regards,

Hi Tom,
Very impressive PS work.
The original lloks a bit dull, but your flare looks great and vivid.
