Here's a new woods image that I did recently. I've processed this image before as a misty scene(you can see that version here), but I decided to redo it using my light ray technique.
I added the light rays using this tutorial, Photoshop Tutorial - Ray of Light. I then added a vignette, did some burning to tone down a number of bright spots in the FG, and used some curves layers to finish creating the lighting that I wanted. I also applied two blur overlays and converted the image to sepia.

I agree, very nice tone and effect Christopher. I like the mood and feel of the rays against the trees and the overall soft look.

This one has a very realistic look to it and the softness is a perfect touch. Nice color toning and I need to give this a try soon!!:)

Very nice! I had a technique that I've used for light rays, but the one in your link is so incredibly simple, I will have to give it a try. Thanks!

Very nice light effects, I'll have to check the tutorial. I love the overall soft blur look.
