I just did this. I think it's purty. Kinda reminds me of some of the sunsets I used to see when I lived out in Virginia. The sun setting over the ocean.

Were sunsets really that dark? I like the effect that you're playing with... it's really nice, but because both of the colors are so dark... it's difficult to tell them apart. Honestly, I've never watched a sunset in Virginia, so I'm not sure if that was what you were trying to capture or not.

As it is right now, from a "Virgina Virgin's" perspective, the dark colors make it difficult to see any objects in the picture as a whole. I'm not sure if the entire picture is supposed to be composed of the ocean, and we're viewing it from overhead... or if you were trying to go for a view where the horizon brings the ocean and the sky together.

Definitely play around with the tones and the colors more... and just concentrate on making it more recognizable. Mmm... and looking at it again, I think that your colors might be a little too saturated (both of them). I think that's something you'd had in mind. But all in all, I still wonder at how you're able to do anything like this in the first place. It's really fantastic.

End.

It's just a creation in photoshop. nothing as far as a real picture. Maybe some feelings were brought into it as well. Dark and gloomy. The sunsets were beautiful just as the sun set. not near as red/blue. But that shade of red is one of my favorite colors. When I would go out to the ocean alone, it was generally very late at night, or during a sunset. I was generally pissed at my x husband and going to the ocean was a way to unwind and think about things. I guess this is kind of my perception of it.
It basically represents the ocean where the water meets the sky. No objects in the picture at all. 3 colors and their varrying shades. Black, Crimson and Blue.

Mmm, makes perfect sense now. When I'd looked at it earlier, it didn't strike me as a sunset... most sunsets are obviously varying in color and brightness, but it was sort of dreary.

However, like I said before your technique is great, and the experimenting you did is really astonishing. My only suggestion now would be to make the sky bit not quite so watery. I think that if you made it more cloudy as opposed to watery, it would be a lot more recognizable for what it really is.

I think that making it a more familiar picture to an audience would also help them understand the emotion and the feeling that you've put into it. Because I know I would feel the heaviness in my heart if I could look at it and see a sunset... albeit a dark bluish-crimson creation of one... it would accomplish that goal.

End.
