Dizzy and Fuzzy is how you would feel if you constantly keep looking at this image for more than a minute. Or may be i was a bit tipsy with my wine when i did this funny processing on this image.
Ok, the processing here is selective contrast followed by radial blur and cleaning up of the main subject with the background eraser.
Enjoy!!!!

Oh that radial blur is something for sure. Great use of the tool! Beside that, I like the expression on his/her face.

I used similar technique to post process my wedding pics, especially on the dancing floor =) The giraffe is so cute eating salad! Nice one pal!!
27 Jul 2007 7:34pm
@WendyTsang.com: Thanks Wnedy, this technique does work well on wedding shots. ;-) It can even be done using the camera straight away, its just a matter of zoom out at the right time with the press of shutter. But, it requires lots of practice, so why strain yourself so much when PS is there to save you. ;-)
Fantastic job Rahul!!!
28 Jul 2007 6:35am
@Jen: Thanks Jen. :)
Excellent.
28 Jul 2007 10:47am
@Evie: Thanks Evie. :)
I am still dizzying
30 Jul 2007 3:28am
@Somitra: Haha... hope you are ok now pal. :)
Again, Rahul, you come up with an effect that doesn't look as if it's done for the sake of the effect itself. It's so well integrated into the image. Well done. (By the way, I agree with Ally... I think it was the wine, because I'm still standing straight!!!)

@Andrew Gould: Thanks again Andrew for your time, and i really appreciate your comments. Again, this image somehow seemed perfect to me for the radial blur effect. And, guess it worked. :)
Lovely! Creative!
