Thumbnail Challenge 1 - Star

I've decided to join in with one of the monthly challenges... something I haven't done before but I only have one full month left 'til my 365 and coincidentally wanted to do a rainbow and some numbers, so it works really well for me! Here is day one, a star. And a dazzling one it is too - where would we be without it?
I squinted to take this shot, then experimented a bit, I cropped and darkened it, then increased the contrast on Pikmonkey - this all brought out the blue without losing the beams or the wispy clouds.

Thanks so much for your charming comments and clicky views on my last couple of shots, always a pleasure to read!
BTW My dear old canon doesn't register battery power any more, sometimes it just flashes red then dies to tell me it needs charging again. Next camera will have a spare battery!
Nice solar flare! 1 month, eh? You are going to keep posting, right? I enjoy viewing your photos and reading your descriptions about your experiences.

Nice solar shot - hope you can still see OK. Keep up the posts - just because you have reached your 365 doesn't mean you can take a holiday!!
