King of Wings Points the Way

[JimFox]

Before I pack up in Ridgway heading down to the Bisti area, I thought I would post a King of Wings shot. The sky had some really thin clouds in it that were dissipating from the day. I am horrible at star names or planets. I am guessing that is Venus or Mars that turned into a bright round ball?

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I love what the clouds did for this scene. I will leave planetary identification to someone with a clue.

The colors are great and I really like the composition with the wing pointing into the sky

This is a great background for that ICON with the colorful sky yet still showing stars and that bright planet pointed out by the wing.

Looks like some ancient star observing apparatus from Prometheus, great job Jim.

Thanks Ben, I really liked how I was able to line up the composition to line up the planet with the wing.

Awesome "alien" like image Jim. I going to go out on a limb and say that's Saturn.

Hey Ryan,

Saturn? That sounds good to me!

Glad you liked it.

While out in the NM desert this week, I decided to explore a different way to get into this. So I do have some new shots of KoW I can post in the next few weeks.

What direction were you pointing, what day, and approximate time?

Nice Jim.
