Well done indeed.

I wish I'd been at a prime spot near Downtown Fort Worth for a similar composition, but it didn't work out.

That's an excellent shot of the conjunction - and the foreground makes it truly stellar (pun intended, as always). Bravo!

Hey Todd,
Was that your shot used on KXAN during last night's weather segment? It looked like it was taken from about the same angle.
