In a previous post I wrote about the yacht, Antares, and created a picture in Photoshop using a photograph we'd taken of Antares.
I carry notecards and ACEOs in my two Etsy shops (Uncommon Cloth and Paper Press), and I wanted to make use of this image. Unfortunately, I'd done an 8"x10" picture, and the proportions didn't work right for either the notecard or the ACEO. Back to the drawing board.... My new image ended up being horizontal in orientation rather than vertical. Actually, I like it even better than the first image!
Then I decided to use Antares' silhouette with a different sunset. 
This one turned out "vertical" rather than "horizontal." While the reflection in the water looks anything but real, I liked the look of image, especially the rich colors.
I named this image "Antares Sunset" and again used it in both a notecard and an ACEO. If you click on any of those links, you'll see that I show the original picture of Antares, as well as the sunsets that I used.

The first one is my favorite. I love how you take actual photos and remake them-am in awe of your creativity.

The superimposed ship on the orange sunset turned out great!!

Thanks, Pepper and Robin. I've mostly been without "comments" so I had stopped checking! I wonder if there's a way to get notified if someone leaves a comment anywhere in my blog?? Sorry I won't make it to the gathering tonight. Have fun!
