Cactus Moon-2
This is version 2 of Cactus Moon. This is an original landscape image I took which was daytime in full sun. As you can see I changed to night time with a nice big moon and stars, added start and Milky Way, and made it B&W. I used orton on the moon. The starry sky was created by adding a black layer with noise and adjusting. 30 favs

Fabulous work George, both are great….
how do you make a daytime look like night time ??
George Lenz replied
I turned the image to black and white using a gradient tool. Created the black background, added the moon/stars, and used the burn tool to darken certain areas.

Cool image! The effects give the original a whole different look. Love that big moon and the blue light adds so much to the piece. Lighting is very good. Love the combination of the black and the blue together. Interesting and beautiful as well.
