Sierra Night
by Kathy Barnhart
This is a wild idea of compositing a photo of a steep hillside with juniper at dusk, then adding a creative texture for sky, then adding stars. Just wondering if it works or not and would love feedback. When I tried to print it recently it came out very dark and so I am wondering if it looks too dark to others.

3 commentsI like this. Its very creative and I love what you have done with the sky. I would though play with the black and shadows in the earth part of the photo. They are very dark on my screen and some lack detail. I also see a bluish/aqua tint in the rocks. You could say its a reflection of the sky but without playing with it hard to know if it would look better without that tint. Van Goghs "Starry Night" though had an overall bluish tone and it worked, but his blue in the landscape (and the sky) was much more saturated. As a creative piece you really dont have to be realistic so maybe the rocks should stay blue and even more emphasized.
Fun idea!
This is very dramatic and artistic, with a lot of neat elements to explore.
A little CW rotation to straighten the tree would be good.
