A Flood of Light

Taken shortly before the other "rays" shot. I like this one for the small waterfalls and the layers of misty light.

Skip, I liked your other ray shot and this one is even better. I like how both the stream and rays lead the eye through the shot. Great composition!!

Cool, a transluscent curtain of light. Love looking through it and seeing the details on the other side.

I'm with John, this one is even more incredible! This has everything going for it! Those tree trunks in the BG create so much depth. Wow, outstanding!

This is excellent, Skip. The other one was neat, but for me offered little compositional challenges. There is so much more to study here, and the rays are just icing. The light peaking through that grouping of trees in the back really gives this superb depth. Good job.

A lovely moment captured well. It reminds me of the movie 'The Last of the Mohicans'. All we need is Daniel Day Lewis kneeling down to get a sip of water. A very cool and moody image, Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, excellent, Skip. I can't think of a negative thing to say about it. It looks terrific!

The word "primordial" comes to mind - it feels like looking back through time into an ancient forest. The mist among the background trees adds to the mystery of the scene. Beautiful!

Wow Skip, this is a really excellent shot. I love the way the light streams in on separate beams, and the way the tree trunks intersect with their backlit fog.

Beautiful photograph, I am instantly drawn to the beams of light illuminating the mountain stream. The small waterfalls add a visually pleasing component. all in all a picture I am in awe of and am suprised that so little comment has been made given the huge number of views. Excellent work. Simon
