We've all done it. Well, all photographers have, anyway - released the shutter and taken a picture accidentally. The result is usually a bland mess of blurred areas and wiggly lines. So, one day I challenged myself to turn one of these into something more exciting, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including image folding, rotation, multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it!
