 When photographing Walking through the forest rays it appears like an image you would see in the forests out west or down south, but in fact this was taken about 5mins from my house. This photograph looks like you are in an ancient forest, walking down and surrounded by old gigantic trees! I like how the fog extends the sun rays all the way down to the forest floor!

WOW... That light is uber fantastic!!!! one tiny nitpick, the patch of light in the front middle on ground grabs my eye, probably need to grab it and take exp down or levels, I just edited a shot I took that had the same looking blow out, it was hard I ended up in curves, levels, exp, and sat before I got it looking semi normal with out the blow out. Regardless of that I still am giving this a 9 it is a FANTASTIC capture!!!!!

Nice image. I think you might want to try it as a monochrome and perhaps crop some off the top and left to emphasize the person. Just a thought.
