With all the winter weather I thought I'd post a warmer image. I hope all a wonderful New Year.

I like the clouds and the sun rays coming out from it Robert. Must have been nice being there. I would be tempted to crop off most of the black at the bottom and also the bright sky at the top making it more into a panoramic. Just my feeling looking at it, not that it isn't nice as is. Hope you have a great New Year Too.

My reaction was the same as Nick's. I really like the rays, and a crop off of the bottom would strengthen it, I believe.

Lots of potential here, Robert. I agree with the other comments. I can see going more pano by cropping some of the black foreground at the bottom and the pure whites at the top. That would really put the emphasis on the the rays coming from the clouds.

It looks like I'm joining the crop corp. I'd leave a bit of the sun. It is a nice departure from all the ice and snow, nice as they are.

Nice crepuscular rays! I espeiclaly like how the radials contrast to the horizontal surf lines--nice. I could go for the crop as suggested. :wavey:

I'll add my vote for the crop, too. Great rays! and a "winter warm" feel to the colors.

Very beautiful sky and the light is great. I think the suggested crop would be very nice indeed.
