    Re: Sun rays

    Looks really neat. Not sure you needed to capture the suns rays any more than you did. It is well balanced without the rays pulling too much attention to the sky. Cropping a little off the top (some of the dark sky) almost seems to make it even more powerful. Don't crop too much, just a small amt. The tree is smartly placed in the scene, and, to me, is the subject of the photo.

    I'd take a little more off the top.
