Impressionnante lumière! Belle photo à l'ambiance très dramatique! Parcontre, une petit nettoyage à 2 ou 3 endroits serait bien! J'aime la couleur sepia.

I wish you elaborated on the processing (?)techniques, this image looks very special and transmits the athmosphere at that point of time very well, the sun rays are amazing!
I think that the right tree is not important and even distructing a bit as it is too dark to see it's details I'd crop it out.

A very moody picture...I like it! Whatever technique you used to get this photo works very well!

Wow, shows the power of nature very well. I'd consider cloning out the small bright spot halfway down the frame and about a quarter in from the left.
Very impressive, Richard - Happy New Year!

Beautiful picture Richard and very dramatic. I really like the sepia tone in this picture. Though I agree with Andy, I also would have cloned out the two long white spots – the one just over the sun and the one in the middle to the left.
Anyway it is a powerful shot.

Extraordinary light, it is very dramatic as atmosphere. Beautiful tone of sepia, some small spots to be removed and maybe a small recovery to put the right horizon. Anyway, it is an excellent image.
Extraordinaire lumière, c'est très dramatique comme atmosphère. Beau ton de sepia, quelques petites taches à enlever et peut-être un petit redressement pour mettre l'horizon droit. Quand même, c'est une excellente image.

Brilliant capture of those beams of light here, Richard. The sepia is well-chosen. All improvements I could think of were already suggested by previous critiques. Very promising, keep on bringing more!

I usually like these kinf of raylights effects coming from the clouds but here you really pushed the technics to its best limits. There is a wonderful silhouette and sun reflection as a strong character and this ray is the final touch.
Amazing shot to me it would worth cleaning by few clones. Well done !

Impressive photo!
The whole in the clouds looks even like an angel!
An angel throwing its light on earth...

What drama the light gives to this scene. The sepia tones bring out the contrast nicely. Well done.

Very cool picture. It almost looks like it is a painting. I can't decide if the opening in the clouds looks like a boot or an angel.
