Superman returns

Given that Superman has been sighted around the globe I’ve been out with my camera hoping to try and catch a glimpse of him. Unfortunately he’s rather fast so this is the best shot I could get of him. I didn’t have the time to swap lenses to my 100-400.

Ive been shooting lots of planes like this for ages now but never really thought to make it into a concept design

Technicially what I like about it so much is how you have made it look like the earths atmoshpere / space.

It just hit me the other day. I was watching the sunset and it turned the contrail into this firey orange colour and it was like seeing Superman. So while watching the sunset the next day I tried to capture it. Originally it was just the blue sky with Superman but I tried adding about 3 gradients to darken the sky and then it felt perfect like a scene from a high orbiting plane or something. The best thing is, how many people can say they have a photo of Superman?
