Your feedback and suggestions requested. Thanks much!

1. Topaz Simplify and some sparkles someone gave me. You should be able to make those easily with brushes and colors.

2. Nik Color Efex bi-color filter for blue/yellow enhancement. Added my own clouds which were rose-colored.

3. Added the sun "reflection" to rose photo (the building texture is natural: stucco siding). Maybe make the sun's center more yellow? Other ideas?

I am not artistic enough to help, but #2 is a stunner, Linda.

Interesting set Linda. Of course I really like the second one. It is dark and moody and the sun peaking over the mountain removes any depressing feelings.

The third one, without the sun, would be exactly my cup of tea. Crop it right below the sun and maybe rescue a little more detail in the lower right corner?

Very creative ideas Linda and great examples. I just love the 2nd one, the leaves look like a filigree frame. I enjoyed the rose colored clouds you added, gave a bit of color higher up in the sky. Bev

Thanks Mike! I was pleased with the composition and exposure of the real pic (Trixie and I waited 10 whole minutes for that sunrise ), but enjoyed the look of the enhanced also. I'm so glad I started keeping a cloud library.

Thank you, Jack! #3 was shot for the shadows, with no intention of adding anything (you know how that goes!), so I will work up a real (realer?) edit and share with you.

Thank you so much, Bev!

Here is another pic, a few minutes later (nothing "playful" added). I was hoping those bushes would make an interesting foreground, but then I like the wider view with the trees too.

Not really into textures and "special effects".
#2 is most definitely a keeper. 👍👍
