This is a photoshop technique. Sue doesn't so photoshop, but I do, or at least I can. I am not a photoshop guru by any means, but I can more or less stumble along most of the time.
I took one of the queen's cup and saucer photos that I didn't post on Monday. It had pink sedum in the background, and I thought it might work well. I think it did.
Then, I tried it on two autumn photos from last year.
I think Sue's photo was the most suitable for this technique, for it may be that, for best results, one needs a clear subject at the bottom of the frame, such as the cup in the first photo. I will try to keep the technique in mind, but keeping it in mind is much more easily said than done when your mind tends to wander hither, thither and yon and gets lost on the way.

I do this to urban night photo the most. It is quite a nice effect
The second photo is quite nice too, AC.
Interesting technique, quite specialist. I thought it worked well on the cup and saucer - put that into prominence with the leaves etc. And very atmospheric picture of Balaclava.
I now know a bit more about photo shop...which I doubt I'll ever use. But the technique does give interesting results. I like most of the first, but not the latter because, as you mentioned, no foreground to focus upon.
What a cool effect! I really would like to have Photoshop--my frugality has kept me from acquiring it.
This sounds like a good technique. I have Photoshop Elements, but don't really know how to maximize its features. I like the teacup photo most.
I think the cup is the best because it does have a focused item, as you mentioned. The other ones become very impressionistic.
I have photoshop but only use it for editing and adjusting some things. I should get more adventure in my photo playing.
These are wonderful.
The two final photos looked like a close up of woodgrain. It would be interesting. Can the effect be done vertically to give the illusion of speed?
Sue's photo reminds me of something you'd see in a really beautiful and expensive add in a glossy design magazine for a florist or to show a design technique. It's beautiful.
What an interesting application to the photos. I like it on Sue's tea cup & leaves photo.
You really are a Photoshop guru, John. I love all your experimentations.
I'd like to learn photoshop, but I just don't have my mojo this month!
