Andreas, you know how much i ADORE your images!!!! and while i think it's awesome that you captured the sunrays, this image is not one of your best IMHO. you said you didn't think it was gallery-worthy, and i'm not sure what you meant. if you meant it's not up to the usual standards of your photos, then i'd have to agree with you. now you know me, Andreas...i always go goo-goo gaa-gaa over all your images!!! well, this is one that IMO is just not that great of a pic. to me, the left upper quadrant has a large patch of what looks like burned out highlights. Also, the lower left quadrant looks pretty dark to me; i don't hardly see any details at all on my monitor. well, it's just my 2 cents. i do think it's cool that you captured the sun rays. Now maybe if there was a way to do some postwork and bring out some of those details and then do something about that left side...???? hmmmm...i wonder how it would be to layer this with another image. Perhaps use a photo where you have a nice sky and then blend it with this one??? maybe a silly idea but just a thought. anyway, congrats on capturing the sunrays 'cause i know that's sooooo hard to do! :)
