Paul, great image. I love your full disc and the way you process them, bringing out details while keeping the smoothness.
I think I got Peter's comment about the soft halo around the solar disc and I think that is a good discussion.
For my personal test hoewever, I prefer not to clip the black totally letting the smooth gradient around the disc.
In fact I think that by black clipping this image, one would be introducing more distortions to it than not to clipping, as it is on Paul's image.
Also the fact that our eyes are not capable to grasp this subtle gradient from the solar disc to the darkness of the space doesn't means too much given the reduced dynamic range proper of the human eyes.
