This is for the Blackbird challenge at Take a Word. Okay, I do know that a crow is not a blackbird, but it is a black bird--and we do have lots of crows around here.
Thank you so mo for your kind and lovely words on my blog regarding my art creations. I love your blackbird creation. I like how you integrated the night and day in the moon-like portals or orbs with the dusk or dawn sky in the background. I love the entire feel of your beautiful creation. Very lovely!
Thanks!! It's a little difficult to explain, as I do a lot of tweaking. I made two copies of the sunset, and altered the colors, mostly in the Hue & Saturation until I was satisfied that one of them resembled day and one night. I took a photo of a clear marble that I made semi-transparent (and completely transparent in the middle) and placed a copy over the two areas, then trimmed away the parts of the sky that I didn't need. The colors of that sunset were so vivid that is wasn't an easy job to turn them into day and night. Turning a day scene into night is much easier.
This is really eye-catching, Deborah. Beautifully done. (There used to be crows near my home when I was a child. I loved to hear their morning conversations. They are the most fascinating birds!)
