Taken along the West Coast of Florida. I waited and waited for the sunrise to produce drama and it didn't so I created drama.

Post processing: Topaz Sim (Painting Colorful) and Nik Viveza to enhance the water colors Then I applied curves.
Has an oil painting effect.

Excellent image Kat --- good work in synthesizing the sunrise, and of course the skimmer contrasts are nice!

I like how the skimmer's browns go with the yellow BG.

Great simulated sunrise, Kat. Works well here with the Skimmer. Nice contrasts and colors.

This has a great painterly appearance and artistic feel to it. The bold color really makes it in my view.
