Theme: Summer sunset

[Kerry Perkins]

A fiery ball of sun sets on the Pacific coast as another summer day comes to an end. DAP helped a little... :D

Excellent work Sir. I love the composition and the painted effect really pops this for me. :) Thanks for sharing.

Nice work Kerry! I like the pallete knife effect!

[Dave Mills]

Hi Kerry, The composition appears balanced but what makes the image for me are the strong brush strokes and the layering of color. Wish I could play with that filter but I work with a Mac...

[Kerry Perkins]

Thanks guys. Appreciated! Dave, I'm a Mac guy too, but I run Parallels and DAP is a standalone application so you don't need PS for PC. Parallels is only $79 and you can get Windows XP for cheap these days.

Thanks for the tip Kerry

Kerry, I love the large brush strokes! Awesome!! Kinda looks like flames emitting from the sun!!

[Dave Phillips]

nice effect Kerry....have tried layering any like this with the original at about 70-75% opacity?

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Dave, this is actually layered with the original at 66%.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Kerry, this is REALLY nice. I love the palette knife effect.
