    Very interesting shot Eia. I like it. I think it could possibly be even better with some softening (reduced contrast, less saturation, some diffusion..) around the light beam in order to accentuate it more as the focus.

    I think the sunbeams were created by an overhang when the sun was moving just so. Thanks for the comments.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will put that on my 'to do' list to try out. I did have it softer but it seemed to loose something.

    Nice. I think cropping out maybe the left and bottom 1/4 of the image might improve it. That way you'd have one "hole." What do you think?

    Yeah. . . I think. Maybe square it up a bit. Hmmm. Maybe not.

    The other thing you might try is darkening the outer 1/4 of the original image all around. That might draw the eye into the sunbeam and the center. Just a thought.

    Something like this:
