About For the Abstract Project . . . I thought maybe more than the inherent abstract qualities inherent in fire itself . . . I would impose an order that would be at odds with the natural chaos . . . yin and yang, if you will.
Taking a section of the metal catwalk, with flames shooting through it, I cropped out a perfect square. Then, I filtered the image with a spheroid filter to distort the flame and grating into a 3 dimensional sphere of fire. Viola, an abstract and naturally unpredictable force of nature with a built in beauty has been forced into a recognizable and predictable shape. (1/30sec; f/4.2; 78mm) What do you think?

Thanks Jennifer. I like it! I like it! Great idea about the framing to consider in my future work. I did a creative 'breakthrough frame' http://www.usefilm.com/image/1070768.html only once . . . I will definitely look into for work in the future. Great idea.

Beautiful Abstract ..the vision of the fire ball is amazing, Doyle.. good PS work.. well balanced with the sphere,fire & framing.
juz a thought: the fireball shooting out of the frame would be a different perspective.
Regards & best wishes,
Jennifer

I really like this Doyle. The warmth and power of it is so strong. Controlling flame and making it 3d brilliant. (Glad you said what it was and how you did it. I understand bits! It teaches and gives me ideas.)

Hi Doyle,
Thanks for walking us through how you did this. You created a very interesting piece of abstract art. You are right about the inherent nature of fire and it's use in this picture is excellent. I can almost feel the heat from this ball of fire. Great PS work.
Cheers,
Chris
