The day before this challenge was announced, I shot this fake moon at work. I played around with Pixelmator editing, and came up with something pretty cool.
So when this challenge came up, I thought of this shot and the high energy song from Ozzy, so I did a re-shoot and re-edit. again, I really like the final result. I don't do a lot of digital art, so this was a really big project for me.
Post Processing:
* White balance
* Increase brightness
* Increase contrast
* Increase definition
* Increase saturation
* S-curve
* Pixelmator
** Add layer with sunburst filter
** Add layer in which I pained all of the star using a low flow, high scatter brush
*** Used multiple sizes and opacities to create depth
* Take the saturation of the moon down to 25%
* Export as TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG
