E ola mau ke lewa Po'olenalena

This is a composite of two images taken in the same location on Po’olenalena Beach Maui Hawai’i at sunset. Post processing includes a light selective colour saturation, slight contrast adjustment, then I selected the ocean and applied a horizontal Radial Blur. I then selected the sky and applied a Radial Blur with the following settings:

Blur Type: Twirl
Strength: 24%
Twirl Degrees: 1
Elliptical
Centre Horizontal Offset: 4%
Vertical Offset: 1%
Protect Centre: 14%

I then merged the image layers and flattened them.
This is the image I created as the basis for the feature banner for the group Impressionist Art
