Sunset Fire (original - no edits, no filters)

I like the colors here, but I think the technique works better with nonsillouetted subjects--somehow light objects against a dark--or even a light background have the most painterly effect (at least in my experience, and I do this a lot! (too much perhaps)

Nice idea. I think it would work better if the flowers themselves were sharp as a contrast to the background.

Nice surreal look to it; seems like it could use some more contrast. Bumping up.

Nice light and good abstract quality. I'd like to have seen this bigger though. Also, you might consider cropping the right some--the effect is lost in the right 1/6 of the image. Bumping up!

This has a real painterly feel to it. Not sure what you've done to accomplish that but it works for me. One suggestion to consider: I actually think the top "section" could be cropped out a bit and it would make the overall image stronger. It's very bright up there and it shifts the balance. Overall, very good, one of my top picks next to mine. ;) Bumping up.

I'm not big on religion, but the effect is cool, and it's certainly "new ground". Nice job. Seems like some different colors, like maybe blue and orange would have been more appealing to the masses, but the effect works and it's good there's a "message" in there.

Reminds me of a horror flick. Not something I'd hang on my wall, but the effect is cool. Nice work.
