The sky was acheived by solarizing the image no other editing was done aside from auto b/c and neat image.
For some reason I thought solarize was ok in basic - thought I saw it on a recent entry. Well, I should have gone back and read the rules before submitting but didn't.
Thanks for the comments on this.

Nice contrast lighting, quite unique colors for idustry. Weeds in foreground added bpnus.
Hate to be breathi ng that gree/brown smoke Yuk! Overall a very nice presentation "8"
Is this a negative image? The colour is really weird, especially since there is a bit of green at the lower left that seems so out of place. Actually I think that green is ok, it's the colour of the sky that is out of place. Very odd.
7 - Good shot, effects and lighting and overall 'feel'. Criticism; bottom left 'green' detracts in my opinion. I like the 'grass/seedheads' contrasting there but if they were more subtle (ie just the green behind cropped out and less of the 'grass'), make this even better in my opinion.
