About the Image(s)
Original 1 is "Fireworks 22", and Original 2 is from MirrorLab "F12 From Mirror". All the normal post processing in Adobe RAW Conversion, Elements, MirrorLab, and Topaz Studio. Used Blending Modes and Gradient Map extensively - and of course a lot of experimentation.
Fireworks was shot at f8, 2.5 sec, ISO200, 17mm lens and tripod.
Comments and suggestions would be very welcomed - thanks.

Wonderful work Gunther. I would try cropping more from the right and centering the image and flipping it upside-down. Also try the same technique with images that have multiple patterns. Good luck! Posted: 08/04/2022 13:00:20
Thank you Joseph. Tried your suggestion immediately, and love it!
BTW - how can I take a peek at your groups work (and others) - have looked but can't find the instructions Posted: 08/04/2022 13:29:39

You are welcome Gunter, I am glad to have been of help.
Another suggestion for you is to go to Ps under Filters and play with the Polar Coordinates filter.
I hope I am not misunderstanding your question, but if you want to look into my group and others, all you have to do is to go to the top of your page and either click on CURRENT IMAGES or VISIT ANOTHER GROUP and select any group number you desire. Good luck and have fun. Posted: 08/06/2022 09:12:15 Reply Edit Delete Posted: 08/06/2022 09:13:37

A surprising and very creative image.
Your original was well captured - fireworks aren't easy to photograph, but you've cracked this!
I think I prefer Original 2 - probably because of the multicolours - I think it looks more like stalactites.
Congratulations on the success of your creative experimentation - it's good to play! Posted: 08/10/2022 15:42:50

Very nice Gunter. I love the "liquid" aspect of this. The blue and yellow are nice but I also like Original 2 with the multiple bright colors. You've created an interesting and engaging abstract and I applaud your experimentation. Nicely done! Posted: 08/12/2022 16:00:33
Hi Gunter. You make me curious and learn what's 'Mirrorlab'? Your choice of colors, tones transitions build something unusual to the overall mood. Posted: 08/16/2022 03:55:03
MirrorLab is a filter, unfortunately for Android only. Really interesting results - from low abstraction to high. The colours and tones are from gradient maps and blending modes. Posted: 08/16/2022 09:51:42
Good job photographing the fireworks. It is a beautiful image in itself. I think I like the colors in original 2 better than the blue and yellow, also. However, I feel that the configuration of City Scape is a better abstract. I would like to have a more complete explanation of your work flow to know how you arrived at the final image.
