Not only does this perfectly fit the current "Backlighting" contest theme, but we also get a perfect fan of crepuscular rays coming out of those dramatic fall clouds, scudding across the sky. The contrast between that very active sky and the minimalist water is a real bonus, particularly when the golden color of sunset crosses both elements and ties them back together. Perfect composition and light balance control, Ted. bd bd bd bd bd (by the way, those are cheapo emoticons for "five thumbs up", and not me blub-blubbing my lips with my fingers, just so you know)
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Ted, this is perfect image of these crepuscular rays, aka 'Jesus rays' or 'Jacob's ladder'. Because you're a Buddhist, think you've a preference for the first mentioned name, ☺ . Anyhow a wonderful image!
