Thank you Mostafa for your very detailed explanation.
I'm sure this technique can be used for many special effects.
I plan to experiment.

Thank you again.

Thank you mandrake

i used adobe photoshop CS6 but you can use any previous version

1st you had to make a selection around using the "elliptical marque tool" from the tool bar.

2nd the try to transform the selection to fit the blades of the windmill using menu---->Transform selection

3rd take a copy from the selected blade to a new file and Selecte layer 1 and the background from the layer panel on the right then ,centered it in the middle of the picture using menu ----> layer----> align---> Vertical center

4th click menu again and Layer ---->align -----> Horizontal center

5th select only layer 1 and click on menu Filter----> blur ---->Radial blur , then choose the amount as you prefer , click on spin and quality make it best

6th copy the selected layer to you original image and place it back in the right place.

7th from image menu----> transform -----> perspective to adjust the right dimensions.

apply the previous steps for the second blade , the other effects i used the adjustments and photoefex pro

I have the photo itself also edited in Lightroom. Both the lighting and color tones changed, and sharpness adjusted. Thanks for editing the photo Mandrake, it gives the picture a different look.

Thank you, Michel for allowing us to use your photo. This seems like a fascinating place.
I wonder what the "Homo Sapiens" Museum is all about.

Some basic Lightroom edits to provide a bit more "pop" and some PSE10 cloning to remove the white patchings.
In Lightroom I reduced highlights, increased shadows, and found the black and white points.
I added clarity, vibrance and sharpness. I used the graduated filter tool to darken both the top and bottom of the photo.
Finally, I added some vignetting and removed some significant noise that was created during the processing.

Hello Oksana. I have a photo for the weekly photo editing. The picture was taken during a holiday in Greece in 2007. It seemed to me a nice picture to see what others make of it. Hopefully you agree.
Good luck everyone. Greetings Michel
