Falling Milky Way

There was a little girl sitting next to her father and saying: "Look, Dad! The Milky Way is falling from the sky!". Of course, I was too far away with my telephoto camera to hear their talking.

Great composition with the figure placed at an intersection of thirds to give a sense of scale and balance to this imposing scene, excellent

Steve, thanks for your comments. The figure was unplanned. Two of them sat there when I was quickly taking multiple shots at a far distance with my camera on tripod. I use tripod whenever possible. It helps me carefully plan the composition.
