Wow almost like it's picking up the curvature of the earth.

But the subtle colors here I find so amazing.

A perfect framing to allow your eyes over the whole image till they rest on the sun itself. Beautiful!

I don't know what the answer is Fred but i took a shot of the the moon a few nights ago and it came out with red around its edges. This is a c omplete circle around the sun even down into the dark at the bottom. Very interesting.

Regards,
Robin.

Comment from Rosco71


Its a simple lens flare I think but still beautifully captured, the elements of the mountain distance and the nearby trees gives this a 3d affect, excellent!!

Comment from soulfeeder


Amazing composition and a bit mysterious and dramatic. The sun rays and the sphere formation is so vivid, and I recognized the tropical setting, because of the banana leaves. The mountain rides and the plants silhouette, made this image so splendid. Well captured.

A very special shot - I got a same one on Haleakala Maui - this is a place with HIGH ENERGY INCREASE from cosmos - most effects on holy places or mountain very early in the morning - at such places normally NASA has a station to investigate - you are a blessed person as from hundreds f people making pictures with the same camera at the same time from the same position, only one or two will make the invisible powers visible - I even got a double ring with two suns and two circles and another lady got the son and at the side a light portal in the same height of the sun - these effects are mostly achieved in Stonehenge at solstice - A very special image and a gift for you from heaven - powerful energy - message: there is more as you can perceive with your human eyes, sometimes I give you a larger view - so you have been touched by the DIVINE, great shot, much blessings

This is stunning! I love how the sun actually looks like a star. I love the concentric circles and different tones of light. The silhouette of the vegetation is gorgeous as well. A very pretty sight to see. Nice capture:o)

    thanks a lot Julika; I got one daya circular rainbow from a plane, but here I see only green, not a rainbow color!
Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Fred,
That is truly amazing & beautiful with the soft green ring around the sinking sun as it sends out rays of golden light in all directions lighting up the mid-ground & sky above it. The silhouetted palm fronds on either side making the perfect frame.
Taken with an artist's eye for composition beautiful lighting superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.

Comment from DawnHold


Stunning! I think the ring around the sun has something to do with moisture in the air and there seems to be a bit of low cloud hanging around. Great composition, I like the sunlight on the grasses mid-way and the almost silhouette of the banana tree, great focus giving nice detail and textures, nice natural colours and depth. Excellent camera work, well done.
