Hey folks!

Here's a shot I took this summer and processed for my photo-blog (www.paulburgess.posterous.com) recently.

Hi Paul, beautiful light and nice cloud formations. The rays are nice but I would have preferred seeing them represented more strongly.

Hi Paul,
I agree with Dave....the light was wonderful and the rays are a bit weak as presented. Try using either shadow/highlights or playing around with a multiplied layer (check Robert A's tutorial at top of forum)...The diagonal lines of the rays will be made stronger compositionally with the tweaks and this willl help bring the image to its full potential.
