All of the chalk art is light in color.  There is no Vibrance.  Original had major keystone effect from standing next to and over image. No ladder to get over the work.  So this result is to bring perspective to near vertical and show the Vibrance of the chalk color.

Prescott Valley AZ:  This air tanker was on return run from fire and flew over.  It took quick action to get camera on/up/exposure/focus/moving plane.  I like the sharpness and light/shadows of the image.  Posted it to this plane’s Web site.  All others where taken on the ground.  It was a nice addition.
