Off she goes with a big roar - a photo on Flickriver

A week ago we attended high power rocket launches at Friends of Amateur Rocketry, a private rocket launch facility in the Mojave Desert, California. On Sunday I was invited to take photos of a test launch by a commercial rocket startup, currently in stealth mode. The rocket had a Q size motor, the trust could easily lift two cars. We were watching close by from 300 feet (100 m), safely in a bunker.

I processed a realistic, and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
