A bit of recent "art"

I've never claimed to be much of an image editor, but I'm rather proud of my work here. It's not perfect, but it's damn good I think.

Talk about one fantastic (if slightley creepy) sunrise! What type of editing did you do on them?

(The second would make an awesome sig. : ) )

Beautiful sunsets. I wish I could see a sunset like that.

The second one is going to run accross the top of a website I'm designing, and the background the the website will blend with the bottom of that image. I've actually got the prototype design up and running now, and it turned out rather well--if a bit more maroon that I envisioned.

For the mountains, I copied a piece of the mountains from the original image which was fairly neutral, and flipped it around, and pasted it over and over until I got to the end of the image. Due to the relatively neutral downward slope, there's nothing too distinct which makes it obvious that the same image is repeated.

I couldn't do that for the sky, given that I needed to maintain the shape of the cloud--not to mention the light gradient radiating from the sun. So what I did there was select the sky on the right side of the sun, and streatch it out. It wasn't quite long enough, so I added a bit more sky with a combination of the fill-in tool and the pencil tool. I did the end of the cloud by hand. And of course, blending was done with the blurr tool.

Nice job. I suck at this sorta thing. Probably because I never spend enough time on it.
