Straightened, Square Crop, converted to B/W, added sky (100% Opacity - Overlay) moon and Zeus in two separate layers (at 20% Opacity (Overlay), blue filter. Flattened.

Private, love what you did, it really has the feeling that you're in a big storm!


For mine I decided to go traditional. Cropped image and straightened horizon. (as always each step is done on a new layer and them merged down) Copied a new sunset as a new layer. set blend mode to overlay. Bottom layer changed white balance to a more orange tone to match sky.Lowered opacity. Removed noise. over sharpen. duplicated twice. Middle layer set to screen, top layer set gaussian blur to 15 and blend mode to overlay. (orton effect) Play with opacity to taste. Erased water areas so there was still detail in the water. Copied bird and made smaller.

So this was basically a lot of layering and messing around with the layer settings a bit. burning and dodging. I used a mask on the photo of a boat that i had taken this summer and lowered the opacity so it would be kind of ghost like. i used filter>render>lighting effects set on "omni" for the sun...a did a few layers playing around with reds and oranges and played with layer settings to make the sun...there were a lot of layers of just plain cloud rendering. >.<

I used an old program I found buried on my computer called "Picture It" I think it was a Microsoft bundled program that I got years ago.

First I added color to the sky. Then I used a warping function to enlarge the waves and swirl the foreground. I also added a textured edge to try and simulate ocean spray. I then saved it and pulled it into picnik where I boosted the color and then added a frame.

Corrected horizon, cropped, copied lighthouse and pasted into new layer, cleaned out unwanted portions of lighthouse, new layer, created colored light using gradient tool (conical, sym), changed to overlay, added sparkles

all done in individual layers, and merged down. Levelled the horizon,
Mathmap..distort, fisheye..default figures
Add supernova, coloured and placed
