Very dramatic landscape - Nice clouds and I like the rays streaming through .

.. and then there was light. Don't you love moments like this??
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The light on the mountains is sweet but the focus seems a little soft. Also, the line of the mountains, being in the middle, makes the image rather static.

The hard part here though is where would be the best place for the line of mountains, top or bottom of image. Now this depends on what else was in the scene. It looks like there may be a worn path in the foreground so a lower vantage point using the path as a leading line would work.

If there were some more drama in the sky then exploit the clouds and put the mountains at the bottom.

Beautiful! Nice job keeping the dark clouds dark while not taking away from the breaking light.

The rays of sun are good but the sky and hills seem too dark
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 06:48:21 PM
I think this would really have benefited from multiple exposure layers, still very nice

The sky variations make this shot a great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:44:49 PM
Cool! Gotta love it when you have your camera for situations like this. I think though that the foreground in that black strip distracts the eye a little bit, other than that it's definitely a shot to be proud of.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the rays of sunlight over the mountains and the shadows from the clouds.

Is that ice reflecting of the mountains?

Sunshine highlights on the alps and field adds to the shot.

love those sunbeams in photos, glorious the way it's shining on the mountain tops and the mountains are casting a shadow, well seen
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:28:02 AM
lackin a bit of focus detail, colors ok.

Very painterly shot! Wonderful clouds and beams. Love the sun on the meadow, and how the picture is split up into horizontal sections.

Very nice landscape capture. I like the contrasting moods than you captured from the sunny, green foreground, to the storm rolling into the mountains, then back to sunny rays of hope. Well seen and well captured.

A beautiful scene with a mediocre composition. The noise in this image is a bit distracting.

As the snow capped mountains gleam in the rays of the early sun, the world stirs from it's slumber and the ancient question comes forth once again....

So calm and beautiful, you did a great job catching that light!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:15:38 PM
Impact good, but composition leaves room from improvement with the top mountain line at almost exactly halfway. Maybe more sky....?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful capture of the suns rays through the clouds and the contrasts on the landscapes from light to shadows

maybe would have preferred a different crop but amazing capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:43:04 AM
Definitely vibrant and alive! The rays coming through really provide a lot of energy to this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:34:31 AM
the dark shadow in the middle is distracting...guess that came from pushing the blacks/contrast to much....some of the people on this site divide up the photo and process it in various layers...maybe that process would be helpful in your shot...it is a wonderful spot, but colors and tones are off
