Very nice. I'd be tempted to try a slightly different setup. So that the bottom and left side are not cropped so tightly.

I think a tilt shitf and better composition would have made it better.

The rays of light aren't realistic and I guess too bright, makes me want to squint like being out in the sun. Looks like it could be a really good photo with an interesting subject and setting. Sometimes simpler is better I think.

Glass half full - the shafts of light and converging verticals give it a lot of drama. Not such a bad thing for me. Mostly I don't care for a vertical format that has such a narrow proportion (width wise). So I would have shot it a little wider. Then fuss over the tones. I do like the theme though, light shafts and all.

Looking upward, shafts of light from heaven, surrounded by the bright green of life, seems to be saying a lot about the subject.

Great shot! :judge:

He was just capturing the rays of light that were there. I personally think the rays are excellent and more rays are always good.

Maybe it's just that it's so bright on the right side of the image... I felt like I noticed the effect more than the subject. It might be more effective toned down a bit so it enhances the image and doesn't overpower it (although there could be a fine line as to what is enough and what is too much).
