post challenge: Don't try this at home. I used an aluminum coated mylar sheet over my telescope to get the shot. Photographing the sun is dangerous. You can burn out your camera sensor or worse, your retina of your eye.

I wanted to dismiss my 1st reaction to your photo to remember that I was hoping for something other than the calendar shots offered in this competition. That said, I love the interpretation, however it "reads" like a high school textbook.

How the hell could you photograph the sun like this! I am very interested to so what tricks you used on this one! -8-

I don't get it... there is no focal point that i can see, nothing draws me to this photo! Sorry!

While a very interesting image, it just doesn't say "sky" to me. Something in the sky is not the same as the sky.

I'm not sure why this is in a sky challenge.

Nothing much to see here. Over all it's a little boring. I realize to an astrologist, or a sky watcher it's VERY exciting. Sorry doesn't really do much for me.

Too clinical for my taste, although I'm sure this was fun to capture.
