Sky Full of Glory

Sky Full of Glory
Please remember our men and women at war
Friday we had a rain storm early evening and the sky was so red after.
It was on the East side of the house for about 10 mins, that I saw.
This photo was taken on the West Side as the Sun was going down.
The rest of the sky everywhere else was grey and blue.
It really was a awsome sight to see.
The flags I took at a church graveyard the night before
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!
Thanks Bob for help with the title.

This photo was by mistake actually as I didn't know how to add photo's together with PS7.
I wasn't even planning on adding the flags in, it must have been meant to be I guess.
I was using multiply and clicking to see what mask was and I had my flags open, which at that time it came in the photo.

changed the background to black on each flag
applied image multiply 50%, invert, mask - once with each flag when added

Thanks so much Steve. It was by mistake LOL. I didn't know how to do this in PS7. I had the flags open and hit mask and it came in. I liked it so much I HAD to keep it there, then added the second one. It actually had the colors of the flag backwards and thought shoot, how do I get them right. I hit the invert then they went right, so I learned 2 things new in one photo.

Very effective "mistake", they reckon what's not planned turns out the best results. Our sky was just like that on Saturday. Good one.

I don't know how you learn all this so fast! I have no clue how to get so creative with PS! If you were nearby, I would have to have you show me all your tricks! Beautiful color and a great tribute to all our soldiers Peaches!

Woa!!! Holy cow, woman! This is the best I have seen you do yet! The sunset is a knockout sunset but getting the 'wavy' flag blended the way you did, is just perfect. Not too heavy!! REALLY, really cool, Peaches!

Thanks so much Carol. I dont have the manual in PS7 so I just keep clicking buttons LOL to see what they do.

Thanks very much Dianna. I think this is my favorite now too, well one of them. I just got lucky Barney had to go out so I saw the sky Friday night or I wouldn't have seen it.
