Backgrounds

I was experimenting with various photoshop techniques, last night, trying to come up with some cool effects and images for the new website.  I think some of them turned out pretty kewl

Thanks

I thought some of them looked a bit like cooling lava.  The top one looks a bit like a cascade of lava.  Some of the others look like the contents of a vampire's stomach  

My favourite is probably the third one down, which looks like something you'd expect to see under a microscope.

Pretty simple to make.  All I used was the gradient tool and a few filters, like plastic wrap, cloud renders, and a few lighting effects, layer styles, stuff like that.  Amazing what you can make with Photoshop, from scratch
