Evening Glow: Underlit Clouds at the Desert Camp

I am preparing for a presentation about hobby rocketry in the USA, so I looked through my large photo collection. I took this blue hour shot of the Balls camp in September 2015. It is a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. About 300 people camped in the middle of the playa (dry lakebed), so that it is easy to drive to a rocket to retrieve it after launch.

 

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