It is very difficult to take a shot into the sun and get just what you want. I love to do that, so I know. I really like the effect that you got. You probably already know this, but for readers that might not, what I try to do to make sure things are focused is drop the shot down just below the sun, hold the button to get a good focus, then raise the camera back up where I want it. Most of the time, I find this works pretty well. :-) Thanks for sharing those lovely sunbeams!
I must admit it is a bit blurry, but otherwise it is a splendor shot. I like, very much, how the beams of light just pierce through the canopy and jsut produces an extraordinarily lighting effect. Wonderful!
wish it was sharper but you already have that feedback... i think the location of the sunspot is great.. not centered but not cornered.. well done. i also think it highlights the trees well. good work just needs that clarity :-D
