This is a Saturn V 1st Stage, on display at my place of employment. It is actually on its side in a large carrier, but hopefully I was convincing in my editing.
Steps:
1) Convert from RAW.
2) Rotate CW 90 deg.
3) Copied the sky to a layer and adjusted contrast.
4) Copied the black area in the lower right to a layer and lowered the brightness.
5) Copied the flag to a layer so that sharpening wouldn't ruin it.
6) Adjusted levels on all layers.
7) Reduce to 640px.
8) Hide flag layer and Merge Visible layers.
9) Sharpen all layers except the flag layer.

I get the feeling of huge, America the great, blasting off...The lines I found stongest is the one between the rocket and sky. Next is the interesting vertical lines created by light due to the uneven surface. The large paint letters and black distracts from the line theme. Composition or crops may improve the score from average to above average. Good luck 4
