Description
Time to shift gears for a little change of pace.
Title refers to the fact that this began life as a photo of the suspension system of an M-60A1 Patton Tank.
I've been watching as some others here have been doing some remarkable things with filters and layers. I employed several filters here finishing up with stylized glowing edges and distorted the entire thing using polar coordinates (Photoshop filters).
ZOOM shows colors better.
Thanks for all your comments and favorites,
Bill:)

Nicely done and very interesting!
great to read responses from people who know tanks! I wondered what they'd say when they saw this version...You've used the filters just as they're intended, you've allowed them to show you the image through their eyes, waiting for someone to come & coax out their particular 'view'...You've got a busy night-full of lights here, moving jazzily across the surface & looking a bit like an illuminated time piece. And the polar coordinates (always good for a big visual comet!) frame it all in a starburst background. (Renaissance artists used to do this, only they called them "halos"!) And it's nice that you concentrated on 2 filters, to do all you could with them. The biggest temptation with filters is to pile them on; but you wind up with a big pot of 16 different dishes all in the same sauce! (Don't ask! I've fallen into that pot many times...) Very striking. I hope you keep this up as the muse calls you...
VERY interesting abstract outcome!!
there are days, one just has to do expermiments to find out what all those neat functions are for...smile...
Cleaver idea , excellent result !!
