A lot of beauty to look at.
Funny how some of the blasts appear to be curving UP.

Comment by Cory:
A fairly well executed version of this type of image at first glance, however after inspecting this for a few minutes, I'm afraid that I've found it wanting in several respects.

The bursts have been rotated, leaving the effects of gravity all messed up.

As a result, the physics of this image are distracting to my eye, and it does diminish the enjoyment for me somewhat.

There is also a degree of varying sharpness here, and that is somewhat distracting as well.

Still, not a bad job, you certainly did create an image that most will, at first glance, find quite pleasing.

Ah yes, highway 90 heading into the desert. When I saw your photo, I thought, "I know this place"...was just there a week ago! I really like the composition and the subdued tones. It is in contrast to the golden tones that bathe this area many evenings near sunset. The views here during the summer monsoons are often incredibly beautiful.
