    Default Sunset Serenade

    This sunset was taken from a boat on the river. We were disappointed that there were zero clouds that evening but it was still beautiful! I did this last summer and don't remember exactly what all I did. I know painted the sun, used Topaz Adjust and I think I used the Dreamy AutoFX filter on it to create an Orton effect.

    This is beautiful, Judy. I like the shinny streak of light on the water. Nice bg color with silhouette tree line. I think it needs a small ccw rotation but I may be wrong! TFS.

    Love the colors here judy and the setting sun's reflection too. I wonder if the dark areas in the sky above the trees should be brightened up a little. Well done!

    Beautiful Orton effect and a really dreamy color palette. What I love best about this one is the suns reflection on the water!

    Judy, I like the soft, yet rich look you've achieved. It looks like it's printed on silk:)

    Beautiful dreamy feel, Judy. Love the softness and colors. The placement of the sun and it's reflection is just perfect. Very well done! :)

    Very nice Judy. I know it's a sunset, but I keep thinking "tequila sunrise". :cool: Nice use of the Orton effect and good job with the sun.

    Thanks Indranil. The shoreline looks straight to me, so unless my eyes are off it doesn't need rotating.

    Thanks Andrew. What you are seeing is the ghosting effect from the Dreamy filter. I doubt I'll have time to re-work it with my busy schedule this week.

    Thanks Denise, Kerry, Christopher and Cheryl! This interpretation of the image has a lot more impact than the original photo had.
