Aetherized Buddha with Flowers

This is my first try with Flaming Pear's Aetherize filter. It is a pretty amazing tool that can yield a very wide range of effects. I have yet to understand the imaging principles behind it, but I plan to read more about it when I can. It is definitely keying in on the light and shading in the photo.

 

Flaming Pear are the folks who brought us the ubiquitous Flood filter.
