Thanks for you comments! It's interesting that you are so interested in the sky. I was too. In fact, this is a blend of two shooting experiences . . . here's the whole story:

Dear Bruce:

This really is a striking image. As other people have noted the sky is perfect, and necessary as it is. Further, because of its essential truth, I think that the title helps direct people's feelings about the image, giving them an emotional and intellectual point build around.

All in all, just about a perfect match between idea and execution...a rare feat indeed.

Best Wishes,

Traveller

Yes. This is great. Whilst the framing is spot on, it just wouldn't be the same without that sky like it is.

In general, I prefer color. But I can do without it in this image. Did you enter this one back in the 'Look Up!' challenge? It would have been a contender.

A breathtaking image - almost surreal. The sky texture is also very unusual. -Ed Hahn
