I recently came across the portfolio of a great designer by the name of Chuck Anderson. Chuck is a freelance graphic designer and photographer and also runs an online store where you can purchase his amazing art. His work includes some absolutely stunning pieces as he uses brilliant lighting effects in his designs. Chuck has an impressive list of clients, press interviews and appearances.

Leopards Aurora Borealis desktop is in my opinion absolutely stunning. The first time i saw it i thought it was one of the most beautiful designs ever. I wondered if it would be possible to recreate it in photoshop so i set off to try. After hours and hours of playing around and experimenting i finally managed to come up with something that looked somewhat like it.
 
I thought i might post it up here to see what people thought. If I get a good response i may write a tutorial on how i did it. Anyways feedback would be great!
