 I am quite surprised at how well this did so Thank you all for the votes and comments. I went out early to get the sunrise with fog and while the fog was there the clouds wouldn't break to let the sun through. I stayed anyway and still nothing, after about 90 minutes the sun finally broke though the clouds briefly and I got the shot (I was originally shooting in landscape but as the sun got higher and still hadn't broken through I switched to portrait orientation hoping to get something) It seems the cloud cover was actually a blessing as this is my third highest scoring image and even got a posthumous art gallery recognition. Very happy about everything, Thanks again.

I like the way the processing manages to contain the scratchy feel of the landscape and the emotional overflow from the sky.

"Oh sun. Oh sun
Oh sun. How does
it feel to be
blocked by the dark
dark clouds?"
I remember it so and I think was written by a 6 year old boy.
A marvelous picture you got us!

This looks like one of the fun new presets in Silver Efex Pro 2 - and I like this preset. Fits this photo pretty well, too.

I like it; I like the title too; it makes you think. However, sunlight through clouds to me screams hope; that may be just me, but I get a feeling of hope here.

I like the concept, but the image looks a bit foggy. I think that's probably what you were going for though. The title fits the image well.
