Cohoes Falls at Sunset - Sat. Ch 5/28

I, too thought of sunset when I saw the challenge colors. The layout kind of got away from me - it still has the colors of the challenge, but all pastelness is totally flown. I liked this a lot, though, so I hope you'll grant me a little leeway.

 

This is a recent photo with high waters. Looking at the viewfinder, I didn't think the sunset had come out, but when I downloaded it, it wasn't bad, although I confess to upping the saturation here juuust a little.

 

There's lots going on here, with blending & brush work. I used swirly things from three different collections, but they worked together pretty well.

It's beautiful, Aggie! I absolutely love it. The swirls and embellishments turned out great -- and I think black is inspired for a background; it looks like night.

It's gorgeous! I'm glad you got away from the original pastel thought, because this is so dramatic and striking! Great photo, fantastic brushwork and embellishing. I like the gradient on the title, taking it from light to dark like the sunset...... very creative! One of your best!

Beautiful Aggie. Everything looks so pretty against that black background. Love the gradient of your title and the swirls around the photo, which is gorgeous. Fabulous layout.
