Annular solar eclipse

How do you photograph a rare annular solar eclipse?   It was tougher than I thought.  The sun at the time of the eclipse was too high in the sky to put anything of interest in the foreground.  I ended up going for the straight on approach.  Here's my attempt yesterday using a 200mm lens with a setting of 1/8000 sec at f32 with a iso rating of 100.  This image was captured at 6:34 p.m. on the beach in Rio Del Mar.  (Vern Fisher/Monterey County Herald)
