You really have to view this one full size. And HEY!!! You are the first person in quite some time that I hear of using PP8. Still, 10 years after I bought it, I use it every bit as much as Photoshop CS. There are some things it does extremely well. Your lens flare is one. :)
A truly stunning abstract and very appropriately titled. The only suggestion I can make would be to increase the resolution to maintain clarity when used as wallpaper.
Nice gradient used on this flame. I will agree a bigger resolution would be great.. When rendering in Apop., I render in the 2048 size. and change the file to a png. Takes a bit longer to render but it's worth it.(IMO).. Great work here..
