It's time for another Cryptogee Photomash Challenge! As usual there is a 10 Steem Dollar prize for the best entry as judged by myself @cryptocreative and @bleepcoin.

A little while ago, I did a tutorial on how to create the particle effect you see above. I had lots of fun creating the look and it really made me want to see more of this type of picture.

So with that in mind, this week I want to see all your best particle effects. 

I personally think this effect works best when there is motion in the picture, or as part of a sci-fi scene, however maybe you will find a better application for it!

So off you go and get your creative juices flowing and come up with the best darn particle picture you can muster!
