Sony DSC F707. Taking a Photo Shop class at my community college for my final credits to get my AA and this was my first homework that I did using tools I learned with two different photos I took combined to make one photo.

Wow. It's so dramatic. Fantastic looking sky. Nice composition. I really like it! #24158Lem Metro May 26, 2019
Well done, Lisa. A+ work. #59407Lisa Young May 26, 2019
Thanks Mette and Lem. My teacher liked it too. :-) #59414Mark Oxley May 26, 2019
Fantastic Lisa, Your PS course is obviously working a treat!! I have only really scratched the surface of this excellent software and I too, am thinking of enrolling in a course to further my knowledge. If this is what can be achieved I'm even more keen than ever to learn more! Of course you have to have excellent images to work with but this isn't a problem to someone of your stature, as you have proved many times in the past. #59589Lisa Young May 26, 2019
Thanks Mark. Also helps that I take tens of thousand of photos a year to be able to pick some to use. :-) #59636Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
My grade is an A+ also, Lisa! Very nicely done! #59718Lisa Young May 26, 2019

Congrats on finals, Lisa!! #61912Lem Metro May 26, 2019
So nice to see Photoshop creations like yours being rewarded. Congratulations and good luck, Lisa. #62011Mette Vendelboe Allison May 26, 2019
Conrats-it's well deserved! #62020Lisa Young May 26, 2019
Thanks Carolyn, Lem, Mett and Jason. Jason-I wanted this to be thought of as Digital Art as more like surreal than life like. Kind of like I did a painting once of our Flatirons in snow with a sky of Northern Lights for a painting class. #62265Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Minds to mind something from Greek Myth - very compelling image!Congrats! #62509

Congratulations on finals, Lisa! You did an excellent job with this - awesome! Was the original background blue sky? The Big Horn looks so majestic, and with the position of its feet on the rocks, and the fiery (sunset) background, it relays a message of strength and stability!Cathy :) #62580

Thanks Damian and Cathy. Jason-I was just saying that's the look I wanted. I contrasted the sky a bit more to make it look less real and of course like you said unless I used a flash on him you can't get him that light at sunset. I think our next big project will be to make it unreal, but real looking like a picture of me with the President Bush. Cathy-Yes, the original bighorn shot was a very blue sky that I entered here a previous month.

You did good! Congrats. #62820Lisa Young May 26, 2019
Thanks Boyet. We need to do another photo get together when my camera gets back from the shop. #62836Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
