Yes, it’s amazing the colours that appear in natural phenomenon. By the way, there hasn’t been any retouching on this image at all.

Thanks for the comment George.
An interesting effect – I have an unfortunately artificial similar shot: saturated pollution
Excellent capture if, as you say, that this untouched – well done – Ted
