Being stuck at home today with a bad tummy, resulted in me browsing the internet. If you check out on my recent post on Dual Monitor Wallpaper, i mentioned one of my favourite sites to visit which is HongKiat. While browsing his post I happend upon the 30+ Nicest Photoshop Photo Effects.  There was this tutorial called “Adding Light streaks to a Photo”. That’s when I got the inspiration to do something with Photoshop for a while. It’s pretty much the same effect like that for the Phoenix i have on my header. I’ve always wanted to play around with this kinda cool shot Nick Dorian took of me at No Black Tie. This was the original image.

Hence after about a couple of minutes tweaking and playing – this is what I got.

I don’t mind it, but I might have gone overboard. Any thoughts on what i should lessen on – gimme it. The effects I had used was that of the lighting tails, tweaking around with outer glow under layer style. With a hint of dissolve effects here and there.

    Your image and your header are both beautiful. This reminds me of Nick La's header. Very nice. Don't change a thing!
