| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Retired Carousel Ho Nice shot Swampy. Guess I was tired but I could find no start or end to it, just clicking and clicking to no end. I'll try again tomorrow. Then I had a damn hard time optimizing for web, I will never understand why images do that to me sometimes. I am a novice and new to this photo stuff so forgive me.

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Retired Carousel Ho The trick is the use of gradients maps (I used Three bars sin gradient; been using this
GIMP gradient a lot lately) and sparkles; don't forget the sparkles.  |
