This is far better when viewed larger. The Moire patterns, which

should be there, are better defined and less like noise at larger

viewing sizes.

Could I guess how was it done? Polar coordinates, one fourth selected and new file opened and the selected was dragged and dropped there and than each part except one flipped and put all together and then the circle selected, selected inverse and added the effect and the green color!

I used tools in PSP X2 and did not use Polar Coordinates. I do not remember the details since I was just `playing.' I did duplicate a tall thin image of gold tubes and stitch together, then convert to a single 8" x 8" image. I used the CIRCLE, H & V TUBULAR and SINGLE BUBBLE filters The background was created separately.

Glad that it piqued your interest. I try to encourage people to experiment... the results can be very interesting, and sometimes surprising.

Thanks for asking, even if I was not able to provide a very accurate answer.
