Very nice.

I love #2's composition. If you hadn't said that the photo was taken in Iceland I'd have thought it was from the Egyptian desert.

Very nice. I'm glad you were there for the 2015 eclipse.
My only total eclipse was many years ago. I drove with a friend from Boston up well into Maine to be at a good spot, and just before totality the clouds moved in to blanket the sky. But as the skies darkened, all the nearby birds flew back to their nests and there was complete silence. It was a great experience even without any good photos.

I like the typical silver light in photo #2. The photo is also "cleaner/simpler" than #3 and that's why it's my favorite.
