Terrific compilation and presentation, Kenton. I love what you've done here. The sun does seem a little grainier than the rest of the imagry. I might have tried a little blur effect on that portion to eliminate some of that. However, this is a still just a wonderful image with which you did a magnificent job. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan

Great image, Kenton. I love both shots, but the submited image give a more surreal look.

Being a sunset nut, I much prefer the original in this case. It's just gorgeous!!!!

6/13/2004 3:54:12 AM

Thank you, Carolyn. I love the sunsets too, and this particular one was just as bright as it appears in that image.
Thanks again for the comments.

I like them both - very cool result with some wonderful PS work in the first - and a wonderful comp and capture of a gorgeous sunset in the original! I lean toward the original sunset though - I think you ought to enter it too - stunning color! -K

6/13/2004 4:31:24 AM

Thank you, K. I do appreciate that and will most likely enter it later! Thanks again.

Really wonderful effect on the first image.
I like what you have done with it! I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into a project like that!

I love them both! Its hard to choose between them! Great job!! 10/10

6/13/2004 4:50:27 AM

Great job on that--it turned out very cool Kenton! The original is outstanding as well!

6/13/2004 5:12:08 AM

Both are wonderful - the first showsgreat creativity on your part and the second shows great creativity on God's part! Make sure the second one gets entered, too, as it is just stunning...

6/13/2004 6:32:29 AM

Wow very creative PS work! I agree with Bonnie make sure you enter the orginal. It is also breathtaking!

6/13/2004 6:37:23 AM

Hi Kenton! The Original Looks Much Better Your Main Entry Looks Like It Was Done On Construction Paper With Colored Chalk!But That Is Just My Preference Both Have Good Qualites!!

6/13/2004 7:11:26 AM

Hi Kactus Ken,The selected subject matter for this project is excellent.
I find the old west and it's relics very facinating.
I like the way you have specifically chosen to give the final image a rustic look and the final image says a lot about the old west.
I think that it's perfect.

6/13/2004 8:23:42 AM

I like it before the filters Kenton! It's a beautiful shot with nice color and composition! Well done!

6/13/2004 9:20:08 AM

Thank you Bonnie, Donna, Terry, Donna Rae, and Lori. I will definitely enter the version before the filters. That is also a composite. I appreciate what you mentioned also, Terry, as that was virtually the exact effect I was trying to accomplish - a chalky appearance!
Thanks again everyone for your comments.

6/13/2004 10:00:05 AM

I think both shots are great Kenton ~ if I had to choose I'd pick the original sunset as it seems to bring the 'old West' alive ~ great job on both of them though!

6/13/2004 4:14:23 PM

Thank you, Susan! I will post that original tomorrow just to see how it goes.
Thank you again.
