umbrella abstract 

:-D

thanks Armin:-)

This actually took many hours of playing with GIMP. I removed most of the blue-sky background, then cut out the umbrella, then applied a radial motion blur to the remaining, and finally pasted the umbrella back in. However, motion blur in GIMP is insanely slow and it took 3 or 4 trials to finally get the desired effect :-(

wow!
I just once tried to play with GIMP - I think it's a very good tool,
but very time intensiv to learn ...
Thanks for your explanation :-)
