I think this would be better with a much thinner border and maybe a tighter crop on the top. The light areas on the top detract from the focus on the misty light.
Nice scene with a good foreground. Colors are very natural looking and I like how you haven't over-done the processing. The light rays almost seem unreal, like it was accomplished by dodging but it's a nice effect real or otherwise.
Great image, but your border detracts and doesn't add... I would rather see the crop enlarged so that there is that much more detail. Just my two cents take it for what it's worth!

I think this was at one time a great photo but the light beams look far too enhanced it looks like you used the dodge/burn tool to create the light beams.
I would have liked to see more of your excellent image and less border. In fact a crop just below the diagonal tree in the upper left hand corner would have made the image more powerful.
And God said let there be light, and He did and it was good. Which is good because without it, how would we know if we were clean or not when we went to the bathroom??
Beautiful, breathtaking shot. To capture the light flowing in this way is quite difficult, but very well executed. Great shot
