I noticed the contrail cutting across the sky right as the clouds were catching that warm golden hour light, and I thought the contrast between the two was worth shooting — this perfectly straight, man-made line against all these massive, soft cloud formations. I framed it so the dark clouds sit heavy at the bottom and the contrail runs through the middle, which gives it this sense of layers. The warm light hitting the tops of the clouds while the bottoms stay dark did a lot of the work on its own.
