Celestial Valley I

A shot from monument valley after dark. While shooting this we had to deal with a ton of airplanes flying overhead, apparently the sky over Monument Valley is an airplane highway, so I had to clone out a quite a few red stripes from airplane lights. Other then that the final product is a two-image blend, one for the rock formations just after sunset, and one for the sky shot about an hour later.

C&C welcome!

Very nice; I think you did a good job with blending and with cloning the stripes.

I like the night time, wide view of this place. It's a different look from what I'm used to seeing.

Your processing looks awesome. I wish there was a little bit more foreground, but overall I think you did a fantastic job.
