• Wow, great shot. I have to agree, the pole kinda adds something interesting to it. Thanks for sharing.

• The Cape has several sites that are "ruined" by poles and lines for launches. This pole actually helps to give perspective or depth leading into the background (or maybe not). Photo rules are made to be broken.

• A bit of minutia on this Delta.  I noticed that on this rocket an American Flag decal was mounted above the Delta logo.  The Delta logo, in its various forms, has typically, and maybe has always, been the top-most decal.  ULA added the flag a few years ago, but it was usually mounted below the Delta and below the ULA decal.  Someone must have insisted that the flag be relocated to fly above all else!
  
  Now, if I could just talk ULA into putting the success stars back onto the Delta logo for the final few launches.    They would need 93 of them now!

  Great picture TitanFan! Thanks for sharing. I'd keep the pole.

  Thank you!  I'm going to keep the original with the pole in it, and I'll Photoshop a "pole-less" one as well.  Best of both worlds :p
