I used several noise reduction and blurring filters to a grainy "dawn's early light" sunrise photo, rotated the frame 180 degrees and then applied a twirl distortion. It reminds me of a gas flame.

Let me know what you think.

FYI:

Here's the original photo, taken with my Kodak Instamatic camera using 126 cartridge film. This scene was shot from a plane heading east over the Atlantic coast of Canada (May 1981).

Very imaginative usage out of not much to work with. This is literally photo art.

I really like what you have created here Dave... more 'art' than photo, but nonetheless very appealing.

Dave, something quite striking from something quite lackluster. Great idea and execution!

Your original shot is, shall we say, not real impressive. What you did with it,

I would have never guessed that they were even related to each other, much less the same shot.

Thanks for posting.
