 This is very experimental for me and therefore likely to crash and burn - but it was fun to do and I love the mood. Basicially a sunset picture that then had the foreground turned to black and a granite-like texture applied to the sky and the same texture offset to the ground and applied there. Two healing spots and some colour adjustment in RAW and with Hue/Sat on the sky colours to emphasise the red.

Striking effects looks like a good attempt to create something that streched the "expert edit" latitudes.

I liked what you did here alot. Only thought that's a little negative is that I would have liked to have seen more seperation between the trees and the sky. Perhaps a lighter tone amongst the branches. regardless. Very stylish and unique. Well done!

Evocative, mysterious, 8

I think that if you had not put the rock layer in the sky, this would be much better.

Hard to see ... is it the sunset that lit the textured ground? Beautiful, anyway ...
