The corkscrew just landed

On Saturday I joined Tripoli Central California's rocket launch event in a farm field at Helm, near Fresno, California. I launched my mid-power rocket made of cork. Yes, it's an expensive rocket if you count the number of corks.
The corkscrew rocket is always a crowd pleaser, it has a big motor for a small rocket, and it corkscrews on the way up because the fins are mounted with a slight angle that makes the rocket rotate. The flight up to about 1000 feet was perfect, although the landing was kind of hard, and the rocket cracked in the middle. No biggie, this rocket has been flying so many times, and I have been repairing it a number of times.
I processed a balanced and a soft HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.
