For this image, the color palate was everything. And it took forever to figure out. I imagined a gradual move from magenta, to lavender, to cobalt, and blast it with orange from an implied sun.
I was really unhappy with this image right up until the last 15 minutes of tweaking, now I really like it. Cold, cloudless days are one of my favorites, plus I think the tundra was always the "boring" climate in science class (I got the tundra for a project when I was a kid, and everyone wanted the tropical rain forest.) But really, everything in cold climates is so stunningly hardy, that its "lots of grass and things that eat grass" perception doesn't hold a candle to the plants that, daily, survive freezing to death and on a low diet of sunlight and precipitation. Cool!
