Eclipse from the Top of the World
This was taken at the look out point at the end of Top of the World Rd, Manhattan, KS. The smoke plume in the distance is the Jeffries power plant, perhaps 20 miles or so as the eagle flies. The view of the eclipse was great, though it did rise directly through the power plant smoke. Thank goodness for an IS lens; I brought the tripod but left the mount at home in another camera bag, so this was stabilized against a fence post.

Good morning Rob! Nice job with this shot. I like the comp with the smoke rising toward to glowing portion of the moon. Nice detail in the moon and a good sense of scale is given with the road & buildings. Well done! Thanks for sharing. :wavey:

I really like your composition Rob - very original. The color looks just a little warm to me, but could be my monitor. Thanks for posting.
