Extremely cool shot Dean! Yes, you were in a really good spot, to say the least.

Love the details you used to give us the final result here on FAR!

Great click!

    Thanks once again, Bill. One of the more challenging shoots I have done over the past few years. Still have about 200 images of the eclipse I have not even processed.

Hi DEANSTERZ, You did a nice job of capturing this! I think you did an excellent job with the lighting. You even managed to capture those tiny sun spots. How cool is that! Love the focus! Bet you had a wonderful time viewing and shooting the eclipse. Very Nicely Done! :o) Helvi

    Much appreciated. It was an awesome experience but it was a little hectic as well. (park in the middle of town full of people for the Eclipse Festival) Still, one of the best road trips I've had in a long time.

A very interesting and unique visual presented here of this moon reflecting off of the sun. Composition shades and dark background highlight your subject perfectly. Well done!!

Oh this is very amazing!! I couldn't see the eclipse in my are because it was too cloudy unfortunately. But happy to know that you captured a once in a lifetime photo! I don't think I ever seen an eclipse photo showing the sunspots. The cloud shade makes it a very unique photo too. Thank you for sharing :)

A very good nature shot posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition gives us a grand view of that dramatic eclipse. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Glad that You got to see it, I was , unfortunately in New York State in the path of totality and the most I saw was this same image when the clouds thinned for a couple of seconds; Big disappointment! Thanks for sharing this great capture!

    Greatly appreciate that 6th star. There were hundreds of folks who came up to Mena, AR out of northern Texas due to their cloudy skies as well. It was an awesome experience but it was a little hectic as well.

Excellent shot. The moon is so visible as well as the darkness. You did a great job with your settings. I've used a welding protective glass to watch this scene. Well captured.
