Beautiful photo. I like the colors and the choice of putting down the horizon to enhance the sky.

Love the colors in the sky.......but there's still too much empty sky for me. I would crop a huge part from the sky.

Can't do it Bill. That would shoot my 'jetting west' theme all to hell, by cutting out the contrail.
Thanx for lookin' :wavey:

Since the bottom is all black, I'd add a bit more black and I would crop a lot of the sky. In my opinion, the action is at the bottom of the sky. That's my 2 cents.......... :wavey: I think you'll have to go with a new theme....like "sky on fire".
And don't forget to clone out the "barely there" microwave tower. It's about a third of the way in from the left side.

Great colors, Howard, and that fresh contrail works well as a lead in to a good story. It looks like there are a number of fading contrails trails as well. This image speaks well of "...prairie skies are wide and high...". I also think this sky could be fun to add to different foregrounds in a composite.
