The bright light at the end of the tunnel is (1) the end of the tunnel or (2) the end of everything.Homecoming with golden trees. The perfect way to arrive. The color was there. I made the clouds more gray and then softened the whole image. Illusion indeed.
Thank you. I played around with it for a while. It was hard to get one color to do one thing and the other color to do something else, but after a while, I got it to work. It’s not perfect, but it was the best I can do at this point. I’m still (probably permanently) learning to use my tools. Slow going, but I’m better than I was (yay) 🙂
Nice Tunnel analogy! 🙂 The light is certainly the end of being in the tunnel, but it is the start of a much more enriching experience of being – there’s something to ponder on!
Thanks. I liked the downward “arrow” point of the color. It was of the batch the one I thought might work for this. It has. It’s not as sharp as I wanted it to be. Turns out, some effects you lose the sharp if you want the color, but I still like it. And that was some color of gold!

It’s almost like being in the middle of a painting.

Great shots, but the last one is so striking. The way you’ve edited it conveys the rush of joy you get when you see that kind of light.

Thanks Leslie. If I were a painter, I might try, but I was never really good at it, so I’ll have to do it with photographs 😀
