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.
