Description

A lone cowboy rides home at the end of the day. The sky is full of the setting sun and dark clouds, all orange, yellow and brown, beautiful to behold but maybe a little ominous. Birds are flying home to roost before the oncoming storm. Aaah! The peace and urgency of it all.
This image was completely created. The image of the orange and yellow sunset was taken in my back yard in Southern Oregon. The image of the hills was also taken in my back yard and was added as a left, right and middle section. The cowboy was cutout and turned into a silhouette by using levels in Photoshop CC. The water was created with the flood filter.
Cowboy image from pixaby. Grasses and birds created with a photoshop brush by Obsidian Dawn.
