    I made this photo tonight. I used several layers with Topaz Adjust, Nik Color Efex glamour glow, and Pixel Bender.

    Judy, really pretty! The colors are gorgeous and your "signature" clouds over water is fantastic. Very nice subtlety in your filter use - makes for an exceptional image.

    Judy, beautifully rendered. Love the colors, The blues, pink and warm colors sre just super. The reflections in the water just complete the overall dramtic quality of the image.

    Where was this taken?

    Judy, I like the cloud formation very much. You have a good eye for these images. The composition is nice and your processing adds beautifully to this.

    Thanks Kerry, Denise and Jay! The photo was made at Columbus Lake at the John C. Stennis Lock and Dam on the Tenn-Tom Waterway, Columbus, MS.

    Very nice detail on the clouds, Judy! The colors on the water's surface are also very nice.

    Beautiful sunset, Judy. Love the "light" in the clouds and the depth of the clouds (layers and coloring) far back to the horizon.

    Hi Judy, obviously great light added very much to the strength of the image. Good use of filters with the colored reflection adding to the image. If this were mine I might tone down the center bright area just a small bit...

    Judy, this is wonderful. Agree with Dave on toning down the brightest areas of the clouds. Very nicely seen and captured!

    Beautiful sky, Judy! Love the lighting, and the colors are terrific. I wonder if a slight crop from the bottom might strengthen it. Well done!

    Thanks everyone! I toned down the lightest clouds and here is a repost. Christopher, I like the colors near the bottom so I left them in
