Did you see the Second Photog on the top of the dune on the Left Side?

Great Images. This area must have been covered with a lot of water at one time to make this formations.

You have been given a great deal of very good and useful information by several UHH members. Let me give you my view. The Original painting can never be matched completely, close but never the exact same. there are many reasons. At one time in my life I had the job of testing all new employees for color perception. We were a manufacturer of chemicals for use in Inks, colorants and various types of paper, coatings, colorants, etc.
1. Oil paint pigment vs color paper rendition vs digital spectrum rendition vs Kelvin degree of light vs substrate reflectivity and response to all of the above.
2. Every person has a different visual interpretation in what they see. Most Men are more color blind than women. Each eye does see slightly different, but the brain makes those changes. Now we throw in all the other variables. Various Camera manufacturers and the type of Sensor used in the Camera (Not all the same), The Laptop computer screen and all the different monitor types. Simply do your best with all the info the Hog's have provided.
Good Luck and enjoy.

The Star effect usually comes from Specular Highlights, for example the sun directly at the lens or the reflection of the sun in the water. I like that effect and I use a filter called a Star filter. If it sees any specular light it creates that star effect. A good example is a sun reflecting off the Chrome of a car.
The filter has a grid pattern engraved into the surface.
