I like this very much as posted. Great light and layered composition. The only think I considered was whether you could/should slice a thin panal off the top to make it more a pano presentation and I think that would work, but it would be merely a subjective option. Thanks for sharing.

Cool shot! I second Lon's opinion about the pano crop. I think it would add a nice touch. I love the glow in the dust! :toast:

Hi Jagdeep,

Very beautiful light - and very well handled. Regarding the issue of cropping to a more panoramic format - I think going to pano would work great as a print (assuming you have enough pixels to go large enough), but I don't think it would work well as an online presentation. I quite like the depth provided by the faint upper background as you have presented it.

Thank you for sharing this very special moment...

Brad
