That's an awesome catch with the meteor hurtling through.  The star field is great with some fine details in the Milky Way.  The silhouetted foreground adds a good touch of context.  The is a bit of color noise in the lower half of the sky, but I don't think that reduces the impact of the image at all.

Beautiful rendition of the Milky Way, and its juxtaposition with the meteor trail makes this an amazing shot.
