Christmas Tree Twirl

This is where I was aiming for when I started processing the Christmas tree photo yesterday.

I hadn't done a twirl photo for quite a while and thought it would be a good idea for Christmas.

It was only when I started to process this picture yesterday that I decided to post the zoom blur stage of the photo first.

This as you can see is the twirl part of the editing, hope you like the finished product.

Yes Jen and Paul it is easy to do and here are the instructions. The first explanation is a bit drawn out and the woman does drone on a bit, but if you haven't done twirl photos before she does explain it is probably more than enough detail. The second link does the same thing but in a much shorter time.
