Lovely silouhette effect.  You should make your halo container object bigger
since you can tell where it's borders are.

Interesting use of halos...

=====
From scooby@pld.com:
Great fire effects (if scaled away from container edge).

this would do great in a '101 ways to use chris colefax' include files'
competition...
the surrounding sphere of the halo should be bigger, there is a visible
border on the lower left where you can see the corona end abruptly.

From ewgr@abaddon.globalnet.co.uk:
You can see the halo container top and bottom which detracts from an otherwise
excellent solar flare.

From buck@cs.byu.edu:
Nice!  Excellent idea.  However, the "flares" are too unrealistic, and
they look too obviously as if they are enclosed in a sphere.  Minus
those and I would say it is a fantastic image!

=====
From djconnel@flash.net:
Again, I think the lens flare is out of place here.

The halo is quite dramatic.  However, the artificial spherical
boundary is too evident.  I would extend the boundary and
have the halo naturally terminate.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
been there, done that.  The solar flares seem a bit exagerated, still
not bad.  "The diamond ring" may have been a more interesting things to
model, similar image but there is a thing rind around (or part way
around) the moon.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Good colorful depiction of a solar eclipse.
Quite realistic fire -- but flawed: the halo is cut off by the edges of its
sphere.

*spectacular* work with the halos. That is without a doubt the best fire effect
I've ever seen anywhere. You do need to make the container object bigger- it
gets cut off, which is a shame. The lens flare is a nice touch, but I would
have used a different flare effect. The sky should also probably be blacker.
