      So.. it's a composite and .. "transiting" isn't quite accurate either. hmmm :-(

        >The sun in the background was sharpened via a stacked image but the image is 100% real and authentically captured in camera (see the video in the OP reply for real time view). Not a composite!

        He just kept shooting the sun after the jumper cleared, and stacked up those shots. I think saying it's a 'composite' devalues the image and just makes it seem like he cut out the jumper and pasted on to the sun.

        This is like saying long exposures don't count because they're composite images

    Love it. The concept and the execution. Just bought one for my new place.
