The best solar eclipse photo that I've seen

It's actually not easy to search for photos of Monday's eclipse because Google thinks you want information about Monday's eclipse, not photos of Monday's eclipse. However, the above link was shot Monday by the Red Bull Air Force which took an amazing amount of work to get it right. These people definitely earned their pay check, and IMO, an absolutely huge bonus!
We drove to Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas to the north, pretty much next to DFW airport. The weather was quite nice for the event and for the drive forth and back on Saturday and Tuesday. We were considering driving home Monday after the event, but with the paranoia about gridlock and such, we decided screw it and stayed an extra night. Which was good, we went back to a souffle restaurant (Rise Souffle - highly recommended! Three locations in the Dallas area.) and had a light dinner with a chocolate souffle for dessert! We expected somewhat terrifying weather on the return trip but both managed to dodge it and the storm system kinda wimped out.
I did get some photos, but I'm not very satisfied with them. I'm going to do some more Photoshop on them and if I can improve them to a satisfactory point, I'll post them. But I'm not holding my breath. You've all seen some pretty cool pix by now, I wouldn't be adding much to that collection.
