This was taken during the final launch of the space shuttle Discovery, one year ago today, as the shuttle cleared the gantry area. The image was shot from the road, by the Cape Canaveral cruise line terminals, about 15 miles from the launch pads.

Modification in CS4 and Topaz included; Selective Color, Accent Edges, Dry Brush, 3D Spherical Panorama, and other normal PS image adjustments.

The apparent clutter in the sky is from the heat waves of the launch as well, as the distance the image was shot from.

Enjoy!

Cool perspective -- I like the abstraction.

I like it for the abstract feel Mark. I never would have guessed what it was.

Looks like a rocky, snowy shoal- quite the trick. Very nice abstract!

Since you say it, I see the space shuttle.
I like how the patterns seam to radiate from its nose.

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

I found the 3D effect interesting and also the colors that came through during the processing. Kind of a patriotic effect.
