A Geminid meteor

I don't do a whole lot of wide field photography, but I wanted to catch a Geminid.
And after several hours, and hundreds of images, I got one.
I also like that you can see the Beehive cluster, M44, in the lower left, as well as several other asterisms, clusters, and of course a hint of the Orion nebula, M42, in his sword.

Rokinon 14mm, f/2.8 lens
Canon EOS SL3 camera

After reviewing several hundred images, spanning over two hours, I picked a single, 10-second image that had a Geminid meteor.
