Last steps before the big moment
I was invited to take photos of a big rocket launch by a space startup company at Friends of Amateur Rocketry, a private rocket launch facility in the Mojave Desert in California. The team worked through the night to get the rocket ready, first in the shop, then at the launch pad. Manny removes the straps one hour before launch, which was scheduled for 6:49am.

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