I admire those of you that are brave enough to share your early works with us all. As for me, my own rigidity gets in the way of being able to overlook the shortcomings of my work and I tend to forego posting, knowing that I still have a lot to learn. I tend to rework my images over and over and still I am dissatisfied with them. That�s why I like this piece; it happened quite by accident and went rather quickly. I was playing with a gradient in Gimp and went to pick a color from it but still had the paint brush tool selected. I liked the result and after some tweaking, I had what I thought was a pretty cool sunset. A few hours later, with the help of a figure from another piece and a stock pose from a beach volleyball set I got over at Daz, I felt it was good enough to share with the community. It�s nice to share with you all as I have enjoyed so many of your works. You folks are great and I hope you enjoy this piece.
