A Shooting Star in Moonlight

The Moonlight Beach Palm Tree is iconic for Encinitas, and I am always looking for new and different ways to photograph it. Yesterday I happened to be at the right place and at the right time to catch a contrail intersecting with the sun coming between the leaves. I stopped down to f/16 to produce a starburst, and the effect was pretty cool.

It gives the illusion the trail is causing the starburst. Really exceptional photography. V
