Moving the rocket to the launchpad in anticipation of a space launch

Last year I was invited to take photos of a rocket launch at a private launch facility in the Mojave desert in Southern California by Evolution Space, a space startup. The team moved the 21 feet tall rocket from the workshop to the launch tower early in the morning before sunrise. The flight turned out to be their first space flight, reaching 125 km, and had a top speed to Mach 5.2. Congrats team!

 

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