Flaming Flower

Flaming Flower
Originally uploaded by Badz Manaois

I was trying to upload this photo to my Flickr account when I decided to play around with the filters that come with my GIMP installation. Under the Filters menu, I chose Render --> Nature --> Flame. I tweaked the default settings for this filter and came up with this surreal result. The rendering itself close to 10 minutes; this should be relatively faster on a more powerful computer. The photo somewhat retained its original vivid colors and the soft bokeh. I'm still trying to figure out how to do post processing of my shots; I'll try some infrared stuff later.
