I've purchased various filters over the years but never felt comfortable observing the sun and have never done it. I have taken a few decent shots sans magnification through various welding helmets. Don't ask why I'd trust a welding helmet more than a solar filter, probably something to do with my eyes being extremely close to the output UV from welding and still barely working.
Your shot is absolutely stunning, the detail is amazing to my eye and while I claim to be far from any sort of solar expert (or having any experience) I do know what I think looks amazing.
