Oops...Hank, we overshot the target...

Here it is! I've been wanting to construct this image for some time now and I finally produced it! It took me two attempts to get the mushroom cloud to look natural and not entirely constructed. I originally did not plan on making this image with anything necessarily in the foreground, however, last week I was able to take a panoramic picture of the freshly cut and bailed wheat field. After I pieced the panoramic picture together, I started thinking....hmmm, this might cool to use as the setting for my nuclear bomb mushroom cloud scene! That's when the idea popped in my head to make the hay bail a target and title it Atomic Redneck. At first I wasn't too crazy about placing the explosion in the center, but I like the balance it provides. As with a lot of intensive photo-manipulation, this was a good challenge, especially trying to create a cloud formation that carries similar lighting as the actual clouds in the picture. I guess if you are unwilling to challenge yourself, you will never experience growth.

Hope you enjoy and get a good chuckle!
