More Stars

remask, adjust and StarEffects.

Very cool, Mitch! Love the star effect, and nice contrast between the bright boat and dark sky and water. Curious to see if using just a little less of the stars would make them even more effective in composition. All personal taste of course, and like this a lot. Nice work!

Mitch, Nice job with the filters. I think Brendan makes a good suggestion. I love the clouds and the scene. I think the cluster at the top edge is slightly distracting.

Another awesome composite, Mitch. Love the sky and that boat. Good suggestion above.

Mitch....Your masking work looks great! The stars look cool but don't overdo them! Relections should generally be a bit darker than their counterparts. Nice work again!

I agree with the suggestions about the number of stars. Gorgeous clouds provide wonderful background for the bright colors and shapes of the sailboat.

Brendan,

You are correct. Too many stars. I was just having fun with a new Plugin and got carried away. Look at the report and see if it is better...

Thanks.

Thanks Brendan, Denise, Indranil, Bob, and Anita. I have made some changes, and toned down the stars. Thanks for the suggestions!

Getting carried away is easy in OOTB, looks like the paparazzis were loose on the finish line....I like these images, second one is a cool...well done
