Thanks, everyone for your kind comments and input! Ok, here's why I left the ion trail in the image. The sky seemed empty and desolate without it. At first when the plane flew through I was disappointed it wrecked my perfectly clear sky. But after looking at it I like the extra dimension in the sky. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed worthy to leave it in.
I greatly appreciate ALL comments, so again THANK YOU!

I have to agree about the vapor trail. It definitely does not belong
in this magnificent image. Go back and redo it immediately! :0)
I love how you composted this with the stream in the foreground leading my eyes to
those spectacular mountains. I don't know how you feel about cloning, but I agree with
'sage-creek' that the jet trail detracts from the overall balance of this beauty.
