Hello

Great picture.. not very creative here just a selective color adjustment and a few clouds and lightning.

Beach scenes always make for great paintings in my opinion.

Here's what I remember...

I adjusted the colors, levels, and curves. Then I ran a surface blur and angled strokes. I then did some spatter, faded. Then I did a few artist surface fill layers but I just picked what looked good. I didn't pay attention to which ones but the opacities were 25%. Then I did an unsharp mask. There were a few other things inbetween but I really don't remember what... I was talking on the phone while I did this and I'm just not a chew bubblegum and walk at the same time kinda girl HAHAHA

Redfield's Bas relief.
Flaming Pears Zephyr Faded with luminosity.
Added texture with impressionist.
Sharpened.
Frame added with layer styles.

Not much to this one, love whats happened with the waves in the foreground.

Reminds me of one of my favorite songs and of old memories..

When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way

Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.

Very nice Sweetlight. You certainly put a lot of work and thought into the composition. It makes a good impact on first look and gets more fascinating the more one searches for the details.

After adjustments I used PaintEngine to give a paint effect.

I did this pic six years go, but I like the one I did today better.
