It seems archaic now but without Russia’s Soyuz program, the space business would be in tatters now. The ride of the next crew for the ISS is delivered to its launch pad for lift off tomorrow.
Wonderful perspective ... looks like their space mission has already begun. The locomotive's smoke trail just above the space craft caught my eye. Superb editing also with great detail. This must have been taken at sunset as I see a subtle glow near the horizon.
The backlighting makes the shot, IMO. Would've preferred a crop up to ditch (no pun intended) some of the foreground, but then we'd be looking at a legless man.. ;-)
Care to share with the folks at home what you've done to add your own touch(es) to this?
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
What a perspective.. what a stunning shot this has become. Realy everything works together here. The guy standing giving the image hight at the right side, the loc cloud giving the images hight to the left, the sun coming through that same cloud, the soft blue sky, and then the subject itselve of cource, train with rocket is very apealing.
Glad you didn't crop the image as was earlier suggested, now you get a great idea of the vast emptyness of the landscape.
yes - i really havent done much to it at all in post - i was tempted to play around with the colour some more but decided its as it should be for the mood really.
