This is round one on the processing from a couple of nights ago. Too bad I missed taking more pictures last night, as it was very clear and those nights have been rare recently. This one is hard for me to tell when the colors get oversaturated. I will try to play with it some more next week after a few days on the Colorado Trail. Suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Floyd and Jason. This is one of those objects that "just fits".
