Art Challenge- Hot/Crack

Last week was the week of Independence Day so the 2 Things challenge was postponed until this weekend. The challenge this week was for 

hot/crack

Here is my creation:

For this creation, I used a photograph of a sunset and covered it with black then used cracked brushes to let the sunlight and heat look back in. This makes it appear as if the sunlight is breaking through a black surface.
