PSP Effects/Reflections/Rotating Mirror
Have to say I've never done THIS to a photo before and kept it! :-) This shot was taken on a hill overlooking the beach thru the trees at our summer camp. Fireworks were being launched from the beach area.
I actually like the photo as is without the last crazy rotating mirror piece as well. Hadn't planned on anything unusual ... was just playing with flip & mirror to see if the angles changed to something more pleasing. Then I dove into the effects choices. When this result came back I really found it mind boggling - there's all these "faces" and figures I see in the image now, like some puzzle where you have to find X number of whatever. Pretty cool IMO! :-)

It didn't come in last! :-) Plus I got a fav - Way cool.
