Eclipse Smiley Face

Description

This image is fun composite of 3 different images during the total solar eclipse on 8 April 2024. The two diamond rings at C2 and C3 were put together in a Photoshop document to represent eyes, and a very slim sun partial phase photo represents a smile. Only basic image correction was used, such as noise reduction, exposure adjustments, and color correction. This image was inspired by Dr. Sebastian Voltmer. His photo can be found on Instagram.
