Holy cow. I missed voting in this challenge and didn't even look at the results. This is freakin' awesome! I don't know what the f stop at 2.8 did or didn't do, but I like what you ended up with. Love shots into the sun and really love what it did to the ground below. The dust from the cats digging really adds, too. Nice!

The large aperture is ok I think, the sun looks great as it overpowers everything and rightfully so, being that you are currently located on a land where humanity was born.
