A red planet and a starry night - a photo on Flickriver

After attending rocket launches in the Mojave Desert in California we headed to the Trona Pinnacles for sunset. I don't know why, but I suddenly got the feeling we got beamed up to Mars. Well, maybe in 50 years when humans start camping on Mars.

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

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
