I used Picasa 2 to create this one, and the tecjnique I used was to sharpen this one a few times, then firm grain, which is how I created this one. I like both versions, yours has a very interesting effect, mine is sharper. Hope you liked it! :-)
Ok, it was'nt really this red, but I thought it would be neat to show you, I have a real photo simular which I wanted to post but the beams did not show up as well. The modications to this are that I darkened it.
