caught wonderful islands of light in the forest using my "Nick Hinch" manual settings designed to expose only the bright areas. conversion to b/w on neutral density, the brightest preset, bumped a little further with curves. slight crop.

Nick would be pleased. You've captured the sun quietly painting while it thinks no one is watching. Very interesting methodology - I suspect Joe Dannels uses a similar approach as far as exposure.
I think this is one of those shots that you had to be there to get the "ahh" of it...now if there were "rays" of light coming in to "cut" through the air I would get your title...
