I first made an HDR image using Nik's HDR software and then used Topaz Simplify on the image.

Critiques and comments are very welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Hey Carol, I like the effect. I mihgt go a bit bolder on the houses and cliffs.....but personal preference there. Nicely done overall!

I took Roman's excellent suggestion and increased the contrast and brightness in the bottom portion of the image. I like this version much better. Thanks Roman

Yep! Repost works for me.....the little added punch to the base just made the whole image balanced for my tastes. Glad you liked it too!

Beautiful colors and composition, Carol. I like the report even better.

Cheers,

Yes, I prefer the repost as well. Looks very much like a painted lighthouse scene.

The "painterly" effect from Simplify on the rocks and clouds adds a lot. The repost is definitely improved. Your processing has added a nice touch of artistry.
