Amazing worlds you have captured here! My favorite is #6, I like the space around the galaxy, it feels like I am slowly approaching it on an intercept course!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Quite a variety Bill. Wonderful work.

Very nice work Bill!

My favorites are both Solar eclipse images. You sure got the light radiating out behind the sun.

I also really like #6, that's one of the best Sunflower galaxy images I have seen. Then I would pick #3.

But I feel I am being too picky to even pick any favorites at all.

Very nice images - and I like the variety between galaxies, clouds and eclipses. My favorites are #1 (I just like the clean look of it), #5 (nice view of the prominences) and #10 (just because it looks like an eye).
