I'm glad that SOMEBODY got to see the meteor shower, and that they did a great job of capturing it! You should be very proud of this one -- the landscape is beautiful, and the sky is just incredible. Excellent work all around! One of my two 10s this week. I should also add that this image is so crisp that it appears that you can make out the two "twin" stars in the handle. If I recall from astronomy class (um, 20 years ago?), Alcor and Mizar (not sure of the spelling and too lazy to look it up!) are the two stars that look like one star to the naked eye -- the second one in on the handle. - alansfreed

Very nice. Colors are great and the stars look very good. I would've cropped a little bit tighter from the bottom.
