Cotty,
Thanks for the kind words, and especially the feedback. I, too, had been
disappointed at the loss of prominence of the CMEs. I went in and kind
of cheated and fiddled specifically with the color balance of them to
bring them out a bit better in the yellow shifted version of the photo.
Is this one more to your liking?

I've been nibbling away at photos to show at my party next week. I just
did a rework of one of my eclipse photos, including changing the color
balance to bring some color into the corona.
Does the color temp change work? Any other suggestions for improvements?

Interesting. I couldn't recall what the image was like originally, so looked in
your collections for it - and found it.

What I would say is this. Yes the new image is quite a stunner with the colour
change - but, one thing you lose a bit is the contrast in colour on those
fantastic coronal ejections. I see they are accentuated even more with the
deeper oranges and reds, but they are nowhere near the contrast in the original
image.
Is there a half-way house to be had by giving the colour shift a bot less
strength so you keep the 'easter egg' surprise of those CMEs? I say easter egg
because it's such a stunning image on first viewing, but quickly the eye
reaches those ejections and the detail and staggering nature of the size of
them (given that sun sun is 1 million miles across) is laid bare to see.
Beautiful image Larry, either way. Just my .02 :-)
Cheers
