    this is a truly magical piece… the contrasting sky, through to the balance & colourings… well done Colleen!!
    I will add though ~
    I’m still yet to understand your use of a mobile phone to take the pics hehe I’ve seen a lot of your other works & they are also truly brilliant.. no doubt a very high skill level with your photoshop skills ;) & a great understanding as to where to take images… – inspirational!!

  • Colleen Milburn replied 24 days ago

    Hi Durham – first of all, thank you for your lovely words – I really do appreciate them :))
    I take loads of pics of skies as I love working with them and you would have noticed that a lot of my work revolves around them. I don’t know what to tell you about the pics being taken with my mobile phone camera, except that they just are…lol! I rarely start out with an end result in mind, I just go where the image takes me. I don’t know about ‘brilliant’ though!! I am becoming more skilled in photoshop as time goes by but I’m still a novice, I assure you! As far as the skies are concerned it’s really a matter of tweaking the curves, etc. to get the tones and mood I’m after. Thanks again, sweetie :))
