If so, that's indescribable and an omen of sorts if true

That's a great prank
Haven't you ever heard of a back-lit eclipse? Nothing gets by the Runnin' Rebel.

An interesting and intriguing pic. Upon closer inspection, there's a small square surrounding the cashew-like depiction of an eclipse. An Adobe Photoshop rendition or just a reflection?

In any event, a very creative and unique pic. The only one with both a Rolex and an eclipse photographed together.

It's iPhone, it's not great but look just to the bottom of the sun. Think that may be a planet?


This was as the cloud cover rolled in.

Ok then, interesting and I'm still confused how you did it but it's beautiful. I'd like that blown on to 8X10 framed

No idea about the small square you are talking about, but I assure you it isn't photoshopped. I took that photo with my iPhone and uploaded it directly from my phone. I don't have photoshop nor do I know how to use it. And even if I did, I wouldn't try to dupe you all. What would be the point?

Edit: I zoomed in on the picture, and I see the square you are talking about. The only thing I can think of is that I may have clicked the little magic wand to automatically touch up the photo with the built-in function on the iPhone. I do that pretty often with iPhone pics. It just does some automatic tweaking of the colors and white balance or contrast I think. Like I said, I'm no photographer. The extent of my editing ability is literally just cropping photos and tapping the magic wand all inside the Photos app on my iPhone. I'll check it tomorrow, and if I did that, I'll revert it back to original and upload that if you'd like to see it or compare. No worries. Might be interesting!

I have no idea honestly. I'm no photographer. I'd be happy to e-mail you the original image file if you want to PM me your e-mail address. The resolution/focus isn't very good, but you are certainly welcome to do with it anything you like!
