photo # 2 is my total favourit... wonderful work with colours, the sky looks like burning and makes photo so interesting... very nice job

i wish we could see beautiful stuff like that in the real world!

Very nice effect Carlos!! I like them both although #2 is my favorite.

Hey madanapale !

I'm happy to see you're trying new stuff. That said, I must admit it doesn't work perfectly well this time. First, I'm not a fan of coloration manips... but that's just me, I'm pretty sure there's a way to get to something cool this way. The problem is mainly the way you applied the colors... We can clearly see the brush strokes you used.

For example, in the top image, we easily see that you colored the top of the mountain and missed it's base. On the bottom one, you cleared went around those flowers things...

I'd say you should keep trying some things with this concept. Give a bit less opacity to those colors and take your time to apply them.

Hope you like honesty. Let me know if you re-work it, I'll gladly let you know what I think.

Thank you Kemp!.....No brush strokes used....only and inverted overlay layer on top of a normal one.....plus Gaussian blur in the inverted layer!....Thanks for the comments!!
I fist learn the inversion G Blur from Lenz Weber Phryneas......I did some reading and it is an old trick used also in "normal" photography to enhance details......Needless to say...that you have to play with all the factors ...saturation..levels, etc in both layers.

I think it looks very pretty.
I love the clouds on the 2nd one.

this is truly amazing, love the colors in both of them. Doing a great job for your first time on photomanpulation. Great pics.

wow cool, unexpected. i'd definitely suggest posting them separately because i really like the bottom one, a lot. the view point from below the grass/foliage is wonderful and the sky is not distorted enough for it to seem other wordly, its very nice.

the second one is really cool. nice job.

Very nice work Carlos!
A nice first photo manip

Wow.. Color invertion works great here. My best, Carlos. +10/10

Very pretty! The actual photos are really nice all by themselves as well. I love the second photo. Nice idea.

Oh Papito, I am not laughing! I love when people learns
I gotta agree too on the #2 photo

nice work Carlos, specially the second one is wonderful composed too.

Interesting treatments Carlos. The first one seems to require rotation to the clockwise. I'd appreciate it if you'd explain to me exactly how you did this in PS. Please PM me.

Wonderfull work my friend

Pretty colors!

Isn't fun to experiment? I really like these images, Carlos; very otherworldly. Well done. +10

If you ask me that looks pretty interesting because these colors are very unusual for photographies

lol...like it...

Interesting experiments!
Maybe I'd prefer a more subtle coloring...

Very nice...
a very interesting shot.

It makes me think

anyway new ideas to manipulate!

Kind of reminds me of what Mars might look like if there were plants there Nice work!

ME encanta! And the tittle fits well! And u make it sound so easy the manipulation... JAjaaj. I think the colors are amazing and the picture also. Great job, excellent job for a first timer.

Uh jes! The second one is absolutely great! The Perspective, the colours! the athomsphere! A really great work!

So wonderful colors. I hope to see more manipulations from you soon

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(^^)

Yeah, really great picture. I love the cloud. This really match with the title "Sugar". Yeah, the cloud look like sugar that morph to cloud. I will wait for your next photo manip.

I like it! Nice work!!
