Darned evocative, crop the right edge and it'll be dead center in the cloudscape-lucky shot for light and backdrop!

Thanks for the comments, and thanks Sully for the photo editing.
Also, pilot of the Curtiss in the photo is Mark Holliday of Colorado, on the way from Greene County Airport south of Pittsburgh to Garrett County Airport in far Western Maryland.
Here's another one from earlier in the same flight
More photos are on the Curtiss Pusher's Facebook page

Beautiful!
One of the best photos ever.
At the risk of sounding like a real wuss...at that altitude I'd prefere to have a
bit more airframe around me...
(yes, I know it's irrelevant if you're at 50 feet or 5,000+ the ground is the same hardness).

It may be psychological, but you're right, there's a lot of difference between being at 50 feet and being at 5,000 feet in the Curtiss. I tell everyone that the higher you go the narrower the seat gets...
