Windmill

[Judy Howle]

I created this last year. I think I used Nik Color Efex to change the colors. It's my only triptych to date but hope I can do more for the theme.

Love the colors, glow and comp!! Great work idea making this a triptych.

There's a lot I like about this image, Judy. The original photos is quite nice, and making it into a triptych was a great idea, especially with the colors you used. Having the colors from the lower part of the left image echoed in the right image is a good touch. The composition -- position of the windmill in each frame -- is good, too. I'd make only one minor suggestion. Warm colors and light attract the eye more than cool colors and dark. When I look at the image, my attention gets caught in the middle. Maybe that's because of the wonderful color, there, but I think the dark red at the top of the right segment has something to do with it. I'd be inclined to use a masked Curves layer to lighten all but the silhouetted windmill in the right segment and use a gradient to change from full effect at the top to none at the bottom. That way, it's both a warm color and lighter.

Great windmill silhouette against the different glowing bkgd colors! You have inspired me.

Judy, this is perfect for the theme and a great way to start it off I love the silhouettes and the different colors.

Thanks everyone! Good suggestion Dennis but sounds a bit complicated and I may not get it done.

[Paul Lagasi]

I really like this one, great idea...well done

[John Storjohann]

Judy, this is a nicely done triptych - rich colors, strong lines through the silhouette, strong, vibrant gradation of tonal choices...nicely done.

[Mitch Carucci]

Yes, the glow is great.

Thanks Paul, John and Mitch! Sorry I haven't been around much, we are having work done on our house...
