The Annular Eclipse from Northern Brazil

These photographs were taken on October 14, 2023 at Tibau do Sul, RN, in Northeast Brazil. This is my first non-partial solar eclipse!! These photographs are jpegs straight from Sony RX-10 superzoom (600mm equivalent focal length).
On the top left, not long after first contact at 1530 hours, there were quite a few clouds at the beginning, but thereafter it was clear sailing! On the top right we have annularity at 1645 hours. The bottom was photographed 15 minutes later just a couple degrees above horizon, sinking behind the trees. Sunset was 13 minutes later.
The composite shows the sun setting during eclipse. Here is the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s4uBtcQnf1eNWeTYbWbdKmagpkUVk2T8/view?usp=drivesdk
