This started as an image of dodgem carts in a deserted funfair at Rye Farm Fields by the banks of the Thames at Abingdon on a fine summer morning. But then I got adventurous and turned it into something more colourful and abstract, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including image folding, rotation, multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it!
