Bosque Sunset

[Roman Kurywczak]

Bosque might have some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. The original is a slide with the crane silhouette and the mt silhouette with the beautiful colors. I think alone it's very nice that way.......decided to drop a moon into right corner........which of course is impossible in real life.......... but in OOTB.......anything is possible. Well I decided today that since I went that far ..........I might as well keep going with multiple filters. I did so much........I lost track of it all. Question? Is this too far Out of the Box? IMO......this is something other than photography.......nice........but not photography even though it all started as my pictures.
Opinions welcomed and appreciated,
Roman

Hmmm, I like the texture and sky very much, Also like the addition of the moon, but would like to see it in a warm light similar to the mood of the rest of the image. As presented, it doesn't fit too well.

I agree with Fabs, the concept is great, but the moon, IMHO, should have a color cast to match the rest of the sunset colors.

Thanks Fabs and Steve,
Not sure if I like the change.......but here it is,

Maybe a little darker. I selected the moon and used Nik Color Efex filter for color, then used curves very aggressively to darken.

Hi Fabs,
The Mars look is growing on me. A little dark on my monitor and am still drawn to the white version. Other opininons wil be inteesting. What do you think of going blue-er as it is a contrasting color of orange?

Roman, artistic license will take over and it is your creation, so if you like the blue better, as a surreal expression, blue should be good :)

[Alfred Forns]

Interesting versions The Blue is way out of the box I like both on their own merit I think I would like the last version with the earth depicted !!! Wild !!!

[Robert Amoruso]

I think I go with Fabs version. But Roman got this off to an excellent start. Very artistic.

I like in-your-face art and the original was best. The contrast of the moon really grabs your eye. Then you can settle in and enjoy the rest of the image.
