Abby W- Empire of the Sun

This image was taken at one of my favorite spots in Birmingham- Satellite. I eliminated power lines that crossed the photo and turned down the saturation of the photo. I then placed the image on a blank white back drop and placed a cropped picture of a sunset along the side. I used the gradient tool to create the different layers of color on the sun and increased the grain level to make them more dramatic. I then chose a muted color pallet. I added a slight gradient to the black and white image to keep the flow of color from the sun. Last, I added a border around the image to tie it all together.
