We are free, soaring in the sky

On a wonderful day trip at the end of April we experienced the superbloom at the Carrizo Plain National Monument in Central California. It was late in the season, so we drove on a dirt road to the top of the Caliente Mountain, where wildflowers were in full bloom. At the top we met a photographer who did a shoot for the National Geographic Magazine. He directed two airplanes via transceivers, and captured a red airplane and a powered hang glider flying over intense yellow superbloom from above with a drone.

 

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