Photoshopping Around

This image was created in Photoshop by importing a photo of Fritz Cove looking towards the Chilkats in the far distance. The island on the right is Suedla. In the middle distance is Portland Island. There was no ferry in the photo (that was added as a freehand selection) and all of the colors were changed to give the picture a bit of "a end of day - moon rise" feel. The final image has about 15 layers. I was going for reflected red glow on the water by using the gradient tool on the water layer. On a separate layer (above the Chilkats layer) I put some yellow highlights (fading sunset). On the sky layer I also used the gradient tool to create the moon in the upper left.
