Default getting to the hoop

I am at work, so I only have picnik, the editing stuff on flickr. So I just went in, cropped, boosted saturation, and added the zoom effect.

I guess I was wanting to focus attention on the one of the most important parts in basketball, getting the ball to the hoop.

Default That's what I call whisky


The picture was swirled with 90 deg, no compression, and radius 1. Gaussian blur of 11 pixel radius was applied on a duplicated layer. Layermask of grayscale copy was added and cleared around the cat. Merged the layers. Software: Gimp.
