Your picture trumps mine. 🙁 Did you add a dash of awesome?

nice capture! it was totally clear here, so cold the air felt as if it might shatter like crystal. the prettiest eclipse i think i ever saw — at totality, a ruddy strawberry red. i wish there were two or three moons of varying size and color, doing a daily dance across the night sky.

that dash of awesome was mostly a lucky break between passing clouds. I still missed the full eclipse, though.

As did I. I was referring to the clarity of yours. I think I went through every mode on my camera and none looked nearly as good as yours.
