These are beautiful :bow :hamster: I'm always a fan of softer processing, there are no hard lines on the Sun as plasma is a wispy medium (not solid) :) softer processing doesn't mean you lose out on clarity of subject though ;)

Very sharp set of images !

I agree that over processing tends to make the sun look more artificial...as Alexandra says, it has a softer, more fluid texture :bow
