Title: Cradle the sun
Post by: Matt Tilghman on June 18, 2012, 06:44:23 pm

Another shot from the Santa Cruz Mountains.  Hope you like it.  Photoshop workflow, bigger size, and longer description can be found on my blog:
Workflow (http://www.tilghman.smugmug.com/Other/blog/19006933_PMxrrg).  This one wasn't as challenging as it looks.  Is the sun too hot?

For me the sun is just hot enough to be realistic.

Beautifully done. The tone in the shadows is delicious as is the sky.

Looks like home, which is Big Sur, but the Santa Cruz mountains are kindred in spirit.

Well done.
