That's very good; not quite what I expected but then I really didn't know what to expect. I like how you put them together. The overall image is abstract and gets the mind going, and when you finally see Venus running around like a tiny bug it's almost humorous. :)

Nice presentation. Why is the color so different?

The yellowish ones are made using a simple "welding glas" fixed on the lenshhood. Because of it's thickness (3mm), these images are not really sharp.
The whitish one was taken holding in front of the lens special glasses for watching a solar eclipse. These were unfortunately not mine so I could only shoot one using this "filter", which by the way gave a much better result because of the very thin film.
