Original image [I chose this image because it has a lot of color which adds to the end result] |
First I applied a very significant Gaussian blur to the photo. Second, I changed the levels and stopped when I was satisfied with this purplish blend. To make the bands of light, I used the elliptical selection tool to make a selection and then colored in the edge with white using a large brush on 0% hardness. Finally, I rotated it until satisfied and repeated that process until I felt I had enough bands of light. I like how it turned out - very simple, yet very cool.
