I've made my first plane trip in a year and a half, and of course, it was to visit Taffy. And here on Beaver Island, what should welcome me on the first night is -- the Milky Way! Taffy kept saying it was just an ok Milky Way but I was excited to see one at all. When Taffy helped me process it, though, it turned out quite nicely, I think.
Sigh...'my' Milky Way looks so good with your processing! It's so much more fun to photo and process with a pal than alone. I like how you've brought in the details of the cloud-like feel, and the subtle array of blues to greens, beige to browns that make up the colors of the sky.
It looks a wonderful Milky Way to me and I would have loved to see it! How lovely to be on Beaver Island with Taffy - I am sure you will have a great time!
