Pastel Blur Effect: Ethereal Sky and Water Aesthetic

Pier 7 Walkway Daytime Part III: Mixing soft colors, textures, and landscape imagery all together always creates a dreamy, otherworldly work of art. 

There's so many inspiring graphic designs, anime artwork, and cartoon creations out there and what's always fascinating is the creator's ability to develop such unique fantasies and futuristic worlds. 

I saw a recent piece using blurred pastel colors and decided to manipulate one of my cityscape photos to create my own version of it. I added in blotches of pastel hues across the sky, unsaturated the photo, and added other elements to create a delicate yet mysterious and unreal aesthetic.
