Wow, thank you to everyone for your comments.
There are no photos I have seen that really capture what a total eclipse is like with your eyes.
Sometimes I feel a bit robbed by not spending more time looking with my eyes, than fiddling with my camera.

Not very crowded the place you looked out. Good organization! I hear other places were so crowded people disturbed one another...

Saw this 360degree video which shows the surrounding world during the eclipse. At least it shows behavior of the local wildlife. But never having experienced it I can't say how well it captured it.

That is such a cracking image! Print it big an sell it like the proverbial cupcakes/hotdogs/whatever. Or just hang it in your home somewhere.

Thank you! :-)
Notice the uneven edge of the moon compared to the smoother edge of the sun.

The first shot (of totality) is very nice:  it captures the impression of the color of the prominences well.  I agree:  I haven't seen a shot that gets the total appearance "correct" as viewed with the naked eye. A talented oil painter/illustrator could do it.
