Steven, have you thought about photographing the eclipse on April 8th?
Capturing things like the Sun’s corona or reversed constellations is not easy. So I’m not suggesting that. But there’s a period of diminishing lighting as the Moon moves across the Sun, and conditions during totality are like nothing else we regularly see.
Also reflections. Water and glass often reflect the phase of the Moon covering the Sun.
If you are or plan to be on the path of totality that day.
I’ve got to say, for me, this is one of the most interesting photos you’ve presented here.
Great pic.
Including the reflection changes everything
Oooooooooooooo… I like. A lot.
@al Ameda: @MarkedMan: @OzarkHillbilly:
Agreed.
Amazing!
Dang. Nailed it. Outstanding
At first glance I thought it was an optometrist’s photo of the back of the eye. This is a beauty.
Divine. Really.

So very beautiful
@Kathy: I need to look into it.
Thanks, all, for the kind words.
I was quite pleased with this one!
@Steven L. Taylor:
Soothingly apocalyptic.
Can’t tell if I’m birthing or dying.
@Kurtz: I love that assessment!
