Description
This shot was taken the day we had this strange morning sun after Sandstorms from Sahara and Fire clouds from Portugal. I used Topaz on it. Love the result. Havent found the free edition yet.
Have a beautiful rest of the day and evening. Yes, I said I took a break, but I had a peek and couldnt resist commenting.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Very interesting image and a great story thanks for sharing them!! :)
wow, Helle---I've never seen Topaz look like this! It's a big 'egg', with a marvelous graphic feel---this could be the cover of a novel! I Love the wrapped-around trees (I assume they were normal trees, but you made an 'oval' of them through postwork), I love that single chalky sun, and the textured splotches of red, yellow, pink, etc. Full size is a must. And the intruding branches on the right...This is terrific! You just keep on coming up with whatever hits your fancy...this is the kind of graphic image I'd love to do with my photos. Terrific work, Helle, I love it!
very cool postwork
nice one
This is how our sun was this morning without the color. In fact it was a very dull morning but now we have sunshine so that is good. I like how you have given this sun such a mysterious feel Halle. Excellent post work. :)
Nice work... Aloha
This picture is an eye-magnet; POWERFUL!
I bought Topaz on a half price offer on Lee's recommendation. Maybe they will have another offer soon.
A wild result!
This is great! I recall last summer seeing the "weird sun" of the fires we had over here in WA, state ... but more so back in 1988 after the Yellowstone Park fire ... Well, during it actually. We lived about 60 miles from the park and the air was filled with smoke. The sky was sand-colored and the sun was a red-orange disc in the sky. That was eerie and weird.
Wonderful manipulation of this sunrise, Helle! I can imagine it did look a little weird. But this looks awesome!
Very nice work Helle. I like it very much.
AMazing and beautiful my friend !!!
As Boni says, we had a smoky sun this summer in Washington, and this is a familiar sight! I'd rather not see it at all, but thankfully we were a long way away from the fires. I'm glad yours was only smoke from a distant fire, and not near your house!
