Mandarin Orange Monday

Today my focus is on Sunrises ... no sunsets because my house faces east and Sunrise is what I get.  I'm not complaining, mind you:)  These are all the same shot in the same direction only on different mornings ... Every morning is a new surprise ... I love it!

I used PSE to enhance this picture with brightness/contrast then increased the red and decreased the blue to bring out the orange.  Then I added pdpa Nitty Critty Texture at42%, the mask/brush tool to erase the texture out of the base to preserve the mist.

PSE enhance brightness/contrast then used accentuated edges filter.  There wasn't much more I could do with this one without losing it's own beauty.

PSE enhance brightness/contrast, hue/saturation then the dry brush filter.  I cropped this one to focus on the orange sunrise.

On this one I used two different pictures.  A moon light shining on the lake and a Sunrise.  I enhanced both of them,  used the Accentuated Edges filter on each of them then merged them.  This is the result ... I thought it was interesting :)
All for today ... I hope that you have a beautiful sunrise every day!
