Summer/autumn

A"watercolour" sunset version.I think I will have to move the sky background(a layer in photoshop) over to the left, as at the moment the light on the buildings seems to be slightly different.But the mood of the scene is close to what I want to achieve.The treeline at the rear is also photoshop and when I used the "overlay" blend option,I got the effect I was looking for - an almost semi transparent,red colour as if the sun is burning thru the trees.

Thanks tadema,I must say that your images are always the ones I gravitate towards when I see a new post.Your use of textures and mood are some of the best Ive ever seen.Because we use a digital medium sometimes its easy to think that "the computer does the work".
Obviously it does to a certain degree,but the best images always have a style,imprint and a certain uniqueness that no matter how many tutorials are used ,certain "ideals" , for want of a better word,come to the fore.
For me its composition.Then its light.Then its whatever I have to work with.I dont mean that in a smart way,Im lucky that now I work for myself,so every decision is mine,good or bad.

Another version of the previous image.The foreground was initially much darker but again I burnt highlights to try and match the background lighting.

I like the mood, and atmosphere of this last one. Beautiful!

Not enough to be great, he has to be prolific too.

Maybe a sign that I need to take a break from rendering!(The hand on the left was downlaoded from the DeviantArt website,originally drawn by Rowen Silver)
