A very warm stratospheric image Taff.
Very strong contrast and a little too clipped on the highlights, but still a pleasant abstract.

That's a wonderful scene, nearly abstract as Ash wrote. I like the strong forms and the colour contrast. Personally I would reduce contrast and saturation a bit, because I find these slightly overdone, which leads to some visible clipping. But all in all it is just great.

If your file allows for that, you could crop off part of the top and a larger junk at the bottom and concentrate the view on those dramatic clöouds and the blue-orange contrast.

Beautiful I like it 'as is' - the cloud deck at the bottom gives a nice sense of scale to how far away the "tower" is... Very nice colors too.

A great shot, bud. It's what a man should see when he get high.

Cheers Guys, i also like the way it looks the way it is, because basically this is what i saw
i did raise the contrast and a very small amount of saturation to compensate for the state of the planes windows (you've all probably seen them) and the misty atmosphere, but the colours are pretty much how they where, it was lovely.

Mate, when I first saw this I thought you must of brought up the saturation a lot, I guess I'm just amazed that you saw colours like that. It's a nice photo, amazing colours, and I'm impressed by how you managed to convey the sense of depth or distance in this type of shot.
