Evergreen and contrails – Korwel Photography

I really enjoy generating the HDR images back in Photomatix, after abondoning it for Photoshop for a while. With Tom Till step-by-step guide, which I keep handy, I stick to the same workflow, and it allows me to really focus on what I am trying to achieve with each adjustment rather then just randomly picking the next slider and checking, what effect it would bring. Today, I saw how the image changed when I adjusted black and white points, something I probably should do more often for my non-HDR images, too. While playing with Saturation slider, I was very surprised to notice how different light was falling between the branches- because it was only slightly different in tone, but it had distinguishably different color.
It is a very simple composition, but there still seem to be two elements competing for being the main subject. The snow-covered, crisp needles of the evergreen are one. They really came out great with use of HDR, which shows details in both highlights and shadows, and no detail in their texture is lost. But there are also condensation trails left by the airplanes in the blue sky, with contrasting orange colors.

I come a little. Will not this be a thing called “chem trail” not a contrail?
　Such a trail is seen in the evidence every day, and it is in every day of the light blue sky, and there is not already the blue sky to the utmost whether the sky is the white sky.
　I search an image, an animation in chem trail and am happy if reference can have “chem trail / . you understand the scatter of each place.
　In the situation that major mass communication cannot but report in U.S.A., Germany in Japan soon.
　It is a powder that the sky is whitish even if I have a look at a photograph-like feeling. Breath tends to scatter it for the night and day; will do; become it.
　Because Japan has only area of the State of American California degree, the surroundings scatter is possible with a jumbo jet. Therefore it is witnessed in the place considered to be the country.
In addition, I keep scattering it because it does not come out on a cloudy day. The people to notice decrease in the time of the rainy season (the pivot is to scatter it every day).
The scatter spreads by night, and it is often that the sky is white from the beginning in the morning recently.

sorry,I can’t speak English so well
