This is my composite image entitled "Poly-chromatic Shore" due to the various colours that draw most of the attention. My concept was to make an image that portrayed a strong sunset with a contrasting landscape. During the technique process, I found three images on Google to piece together to create my composite photo, one for water, one for sky, and one for green mountains. I used the water photo as my base and replaced it's sky with the photo of the more eye catching sunset. I played around with the hue & saturation on both the sky and water layer, and added gradients with lowered opacity's to bold what original colours they had. Even though I wanted the water and sky to be very clear, I decided to add in some distant mountains for details. I took them out of their original photo and adjusted them so they would look as realistic as possible on top of the water. I copied the mountains and placed them behind the first copy so they would shadow them. Again, I revised the hue & saturation to blend the mountains in with it's new surroundings. This image turned out good, but I think it could have been better if I had added more layers and details.
Ooooh. Adding a gradient with a lowered opacity to pump up the colour. I have never thought of that. Well done! It was also very clever to double layer the mountains. The colour of the land is a bit unusually bright which makes it look like a magical place. I am impressed that you are setting such a high standard for your self, but...don't drive yourself crazy. See you Thursday night:)
