A scene that captured my eyes on the way back to the motel after spent a couple of hours admiring the sunrise on the ocean.
Thanks for the comments/critiques.
Ciao!
Marco

Great capture of this transient moment for me, Marco. The verticals of the trunks and diagonals of the sunrays work nicely together, and the foreground grasses add a lot of interest to me. Your exposure and processing is spot on to my eye.
I just could imagine a bit more space at the bottom to show some more details of the delicate grasses, but that might be purely a matter of opinion. I enjoy your image as is.
Ciao,
Peter

Peter. thanks for the nice comment.
About the bottom space.. I had the very same thought as I saw the image on the monitor.. :) the grass lit by the light woulded be certainly a plus. It might be added by compoting.. but I don't like to process the image too much.
Ciao!

I agree...more grass would have been nice...esp on the bottom right, but still the quality of light here filtering through the trees is lovely!

Marco, You captured some beautiful light and a wonderful mood! I aqree with the others (and you) about a little more of the nicely lit grass on the bottom being nice here. Still this is very nice!...

Very nice image! As mentioned, more grasses would be great. The sun rays and the green highlights of the pine in the upper right are excellent. I think the exposre throughtout is spot-on.

As others said, very nice light! Very tasteful processing, and exposure is spot on. I would have loved to see a nice, thick strip of grass on the bottom, catching the spotlights filtering through the trees. Maybe you were limited on perspective and available focal lengths. As it is, it might be better to crop out the grass entirely, to abstract the scene a bit and remove an unfortunately somewhat-distracting element.

Alex, thanks for the comment! About the grass.. I fully agree. Actually I think it was just a composition error (i confess) rather than a perspective limitation.. Probably my attention has been catched by the rays coming from the upper right corner.
Some times I forget to "think" few more seconds before doing "click".
