Theme: Flaming Pink Sunset

[Judy Howle]

I used Topaz Clarity and then I duplicated the layer and set it to color burn mode at lowered opacity and fill, and I masked it off the lower part a good bit, then after merging the mask, I painted over the lower area with red color from image as it was too blue. That's most of what I did. I think it fits the theme because of the lines and angles I see going from lower left to upper right.

This is explosive in color and energy! Good composition with the house in the lower corner. It proides a nice solid place to contrast with the wild clouds. I think the very neat and orderly lines on house also fit the theme well.

Beautiful Judy. I love the light reflecting off the beams in the house. The cloud has a type of organic geometry. Nice work.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks much Nancy and Jackie! I agree that the lines of the house should be included as part of the theme.

Hi, Judy, an amazing sunset. I like how it makes the house look so small and insignificant.

Judy, this is a very dramatic display of color. I particularly like the warm light on the house. Although the house is small in the frame, the lines of the clouds make it the focal point.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks for your comments Cheryl and Gary!

[Kerry Perkins]

Very nice Judy, and definitely has a strong element of geometry. I like your processing steps, good thinking and execution!

[Anita Bower]

Very nice clouds with curving lines. painting the water was a good idea, and holds the image together.
