Violet Splash

I've been looking for something purple, and I think I found it. It took a large batch of my personal tricks. Aside from cloud and arrow brushes, it's almost completely original.
In this one, I used a few filter> render> cloud layers, and changed their color and brightness and contrast, along with the blending mode. My favorite chrome water trick was placed on screen. I played with a few subliminally placed gradients, to improve the "lighting" of the image. The flare was a natural by-product of my experimentation; it wasn't intentional, though I did encourage it's prominence.
