Thanks.  Had a time with getting the tracks to lay flat - have to demonstrate their being seen from the side.

Well, I think you did a great job witht eh sky color as it graduates from the horizon upwards. I really like it!

Thank you Patricia.   Yes, this was done in mostly in Orange and Blues (Ultramarine and Thalo) with good color contrast.   I attempted to manage value but also temperature and color saturation in expressing lighting.  Tried also to keep cast shadows less distinct in the absence of direct light.   In the end, the greatest opportunity for improvement in this piece perhaps was for greater sky movement and the moderating of edges away from the focal area.
