Description

I took this shot of a jet out of Cleveland International Airport flying at about 30,000 feet in early evening this past Saturday. The original image was a single jet and com trail which I then rotated to give the angle I wanted, cropped and adjusted levels, etc. I then saved that version as the master image and created a second duplicate image to edit. From the second image, I flipped it, split it in half, cut and pasted to two halves to the master image and then used the clone brush to put it all together so it would look like two jets had crossed over one another. Hope ya'll like it!
