Since today is Eclipse Day, I think the sky would make a good subject. Could be sunsets, sunrises, stars, whatever. The sky is the limit.
The challenge begins when posted, and will end on Monday, Aug 28, 2017 at midnight CDT. The winner will be announced shortly thereafter. (Or more likely, the next morning.)

Results
1. teekay's Day's End - The 3D feel to this one amazes me. I feel like I can reach right into the image. Very nicely done.
2. darkslinger's Crescent Beach - It was a close call between this one and Old Crow's Fiery Sunset, but the sunbeams won me over.
3. OldCrow's Fiery Sunset - Love the colors. Made it hard to choose, as I said above.
Honorable mention - Jason C's Eclipse shot. I have a similar shot from the eclipse with the moon in a different spot. Your sunspots came out clearer than mine, though. Nice work.
