Peking Opera

[Steve Adkins]

I watched these characters for several minutes as they performed to distant drums.
Blended with PB-Oil.
All C&C welcome.

Steve, this is fantastic! I've never seen a Peking opera, but I can imagine these clouds being characters in a production. I love the contrast between the serene scene below and the turmoil above. Excellent eye to capture the scene and the processing is wonderful. I might tone down the brightest white part of the sky in the center, but two thumbs up from me!

Great image...love the color, the towering clouds, the contrast of the greens and yellow in the foreground...I agree with Kerry's comment about the one white area in the upper center...and it might have been nice to have just a little more of the water in the front, I'm not sure..I'd have to see it...but absolutely stunning in so many ways. Well done!

Steve, I love the colors and the filtering. Kerry makes a good suggestion. The clouds do look like they are dancing in the sky.

[Jay Sheinfield]

Steve, Great image and well seen. Love the layering and the colors. Agree with Kerry on the brightest stuff.

[Nancy Bell]

A fantastic creative title that is perfect for this image! I really like the grounding of the trees and water for the ethereal figures and colors above. The appearance of wind tossing the tree tops brings it together. Well seen and well processed.

Never having been to Peking (will remedy that soon), what exactly is a Peking Opera...forget I asked...isn't wikipedia great.

Ok Paul concentrate.....The image is pretty wild...the effects on the trees, makes it look like their getting blown around.....the clouds, lovely colors and composition...very well done

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Steve, very nice processing on this one. Love the colors.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Steve, I love this! The colors and PB make it a wonderful, wonderful sight. I like the way the tree trunks are clumped together - they seem to anchor the image. Beautifully done

[Indranil Sircar]

I love the layers of colors here... well seen and composed

[Steve Adkins]

Thanks everyone! Appreciate your time and vision.
Paul, LOL Yes! Wikipedia + Google... what more could you want.

I like the image but would love to see the effect stronger on the trees. The clouds of course rock.
