Total Solar Eclipse in Egypt@page3

Total Solar Eclipse took place in the skies of Atlantic Ocean, Africa and Middle East countries on Wednesday, March 29, 2006.
I saw this spectacle in Egypt. It was an absolutely overwelming, fantastic, awsome and spectacular sight !!!

composite of 4 images of different exposures
As I am not used to imageprocess, it took me long time to make this.
The image on the left seems to be a little too strong (meaning unnatural?), so I applied a small amount of blurring to the image. Is this more natural?

Original shots with no process.
