Otherworldly - Sunrise with a twist

[Sistereinstein]

Morning DPS peeps!

Working on some post processing on some shots taken over the weekend. I would like a critique on the end result of my choice of crop and tweaks. This was actually a severe crop and added Matt's Cutting Edge in LR.

Today, looking at it I like the overall composition and it matches the current artistic mood that I'm working with right now.

Hi,
Lots of views, no replies huh?...I like it. I've done a few like this myself. It's slightly evocative of an impressionist painting and these sorts of pictures do not stand up to close up scrutiny, but are best viewed like a painting further away. I viewed it 'large' on your Flickr and that's when the PP works for me. As always, I don't need an excuse to post any of mine, so here's a similar sort of thing that I did. The 1st is a little like yours, and the 2nd one is an attempt to reproduce a watercolour landscape without using a filter.
Regards
Dave
