That looks really cool, but I'm not sure what's going on in that picture. Is the little white thing in the sky the sun or the moon? Is it dark in the sky and on the beach because the moon is blocking the sunlight?

If the white thing in the sky is the sun, then I guess the photographer used the dark part of the total eclipse for the rest of the image (sky and beach). Is that right?
