Dan - well done. I think the centered comp works well here.

Dan, really nice work here, as nice as I have seen and there have been a lot of photos shown.
Well done.

Hi Dan,

Way cool, or maybe I should say hot (ring of fire). I wish I could have seen the ring. I have never seen annular or total solar eclipse.

Maybe not as dramatic , but well done anyway. Very cool , well exposed and processed.
