Image description: A tall, sea stack rising from dark ocean waters, with a total solar eclipse visible in the sky. The eclipsed sun appears as a black circle surrounded by a bright white corona above fog that obscures the view beyond the sea stack.

Awesome image.
Minor nitpick here, but as someone who has actually experienced totality, there is one major issue with this image. During totality it gets dark to the level of a little after sunset (enough to trigger streetlights with automated sensors to turn on). Then, imagine looking in the direction of where the sun has already set and seeing the glow of a fading sunset. However, instead of coming from one direction, this glow is happening in every direction that you can see.
Basically there would be more color coming from behind the marine layer.
That being said, you could always claim that this is totality being experienced in some other solar system.

That sounds pretty cool. I tried to find a photo of a real eclipse with the ocean in it online, but it’s way too hard to tell if they’re even real or if they’ve been heavily edited.
