Hi Tony,

One of the first things my eyes are drawn to is the bright contrail - then I read your description and it makes sense, since you are near the airport. On my monitor, the lower part of the image is looking a bit too dark - and wonder if dodging a bit or trying to lighten the shadows might bring in a little more detail?

It looks like a nice evening, the scene itself is very lovely with some wonderful reds and oranges - a sunset worthy of your time. :cool:

The colors in the clouds are great, Tony, and using the contrail as a focal point was a good idea. This is a very inviting sky. I'm with Karen in feeling like there's too much black especially at the very bottom.
