Front Range Memory (Posterized Photo)

Tonight I used iPhoto to crop this image out of the background of a photo taken during a recent trip to Colorado (close to Colorado Springs I think.) Then I opened the image in Painter and used color overlay on the sky. After that, I used the "magic wand" tool to posterize the image by sections, following the lines of the landscape. I liked the effect, a soft quality suggesting a daydream or a memory. I decided to call this "Front Range Memory" because most of my trips back home to Colorado involve driving up and down the highway along the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
