Near Colorado Springs (Digitally Modified Photo for Painting Reference)



This is a digitally altered version of a photo I published here on October 18, a photo that I took during a 2018 trip to Colorado.  This will be the basis for my next mountain painting. To get my photo ready to be a photo reference, I opened the image in Painter and  added some posterizing effect to get more color contrast, especially some purple tones.  In the original photo, you can see a big airplane apparently suspended just above the ground. In fact, it is the Air Force Academy's B-52 display.  But for a more natural and timeless scene, I obscured it using Painter's editing tools.
