Late afternoon sun rays.

I can't deny that this could be a better picture. Any constructive

criticism would be appreciated. Thank you.

nice exposure of the sky. you HAVE to shoot rays when they appear regardless of the foreground subject. i got really lucky one evening with many shots and a gorgeous foreground. jh

hey, i used to live not to far from you, in fort washington!

 

as for the picture, i would suggest perhaps a slighter, one stop, faster. i think that may give better definition in the center of the cloud. other than that, play around with the color curves or values. I dont know what programs canon gave you with that camera, but digital photo pro is a great tool which lets you do that. if you dont have it, you can get it off of their website somewhere... i think under software for the cameras. by playing with the curves you can bring out colors that may make the rays more visible and 'pop' out more, if this is your goal.

 

however, i really cant give any real direct help, its a good over all picture.
