~Painted Sky Collaboration(Great Gig in the Sky)~

I merely looked up into the vastness of the great gig in the sky. My eyes fell upon this scene as my side of the world begins its descent into the night with the magical realm of light creating its artwork with the help of man made Contrail/Chemtrails. The sky begins to dream and we along with it. But what's really going on up there in the world above us.....hmmmm. So many whys but only to touch the truth of something!

pp-full frame, slight amount of noise reduction, resize and partial luko's USM.

Hello,Michael, so clear and bright ..
even i feel, to look at this, that it's not what i see, i feel that it is inside my eyes.
Perfect .. very unusual ... . .

SUPERB colours, I love the vibrancy, thanx, M, (*_*)

Dear Michael,
I think there is nothing left for me to add a comment.
I say what you say in your photo...
Congratulations,
CAgatay

Strings in the sky - or the sky strung up? A lovely piece of art nevertheless Michael. Specially like the way the sky seems to be 'graded' at different level of opacity by the 'contrail/chemtrails' (thanks for an enlightening link :-))
And nice to see you back
Mukesh

The lines in the sky really make the picture, Michael - along with those beautiful sunset colours, of course. Well seen. I always find sunsets are a moment of reminiscence. TFS.

So good to see you posting again, Micheal, as I have missed your pictues. I see that you are getting some great shot from your new camera. This is very nicely composed with all of the lines creating a very nice abstract work. Very nice colours as well. Excellent!

Hi Michael,
Very nice sunset photo with these nice lines and the supreb degradation in colors from darl blue to orange. Well done.
Luc

Great sky with lovely colours. I like the line patterns in the sky. Glad you looked up. Well observed.

Great shot Michel! Those "strings" created very powerful composition and those colors are amazing! An yes, Pink Floyd reference came naturally, congratulations on the idea! I can just hear that lovely female voice flying around there.
Great work, TFS!

Regards,
Robert

In this region you seldom see these lines as parallels, but more crisscross. Did you try a straight version (untilted) ?
Compared to the bright clouds, the sky looks awfully dark, did you fiidle with the f-stops ?
I like the compo but am not sure if the white frame is the right colour...
The gig-reference is great, I can see the bass being plucked there.
Clouds becoming ghost-images fading in the evening breeze...
"There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying..."
TFS Michael
(PS I had a simular sighting a few days ago.. it's in the drawer ;) )

Excellent Michael! Very nice colour range, beautifully composed in the photo.

HELLO MICHAEL.
I appreciate so much picture of skies because allthough it's always the same subject, it is never the result. The tones of your picture are wonderful as is the mood it creates.
Congratulations.
Luci
