Off she went, up into the sky

We went to a rocket launch event at the Snow Ranch, East of Stockton in California's Central Valley. I volunteered to watch and alert for aircraft that ignore the NOTAM (notice to airman) - we don't want to shoot down airplanes! A high power rocket just launched, laving behind a black smoke trail

 

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
