Theme: Pink Cloudburst Sunset

[Judy Howle]

I combined 2 images for this panorama. Standard adjustments and then I used Exposure 5 for the pink colors. I used Topaz Simplify, then combined the layers and added a French Kiss texture on top.

Beautiful colors, Judy! I love the clouds; they look like fireworks.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Christopher!

[Kerry Perkins]

I sure envy you for those sunsets! I get excited to see a few clouds forming... :c3: Amazing colors and just the right amount of panoramic field of view to showcase the energy in those clouds. Love it, looks like a painting.

Thanks Kerry!

This is quite spectacular. I really like your application of Simplify on it.

[Wendy Kates]

This is really beautiful...I love the progression of colors from pink to purple, as well as the depth in the clouds.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Dennis. I've never been a heavy-handed Simplify user. I like mine to look slightly "painted" and not too obvious. And I don't care for the "webbing" effect in trees etc.

Thanks Wendy. It was a color film preset in Exposure 5 and made me go "WOW" when I tried it.

Awesome colors! I like that bright pink/orange spot along the horizon on the right side. It's a good balance for the brilliant explosion of the clouds.

Judy, beautiful sunset - you must live in a magical place! I really like the subtle use of Simplify:S3:

I'm with Kerry about clouds. Out here the skies are usually either solid blue ("severe clear") or solid gray. So I not only love the clouds, but the colors, treatment and composition, with the dark landform giving a base to the dramatic sky. Well done!
