Hi Ewa, oh my is all I can say! This is indeed breathtakingly beautiful! You caught your 'sunbeam' at just the right time! Your timing was MORE than perfect, and the colors, only nature could provide us such awesome beauty and then with you and your camera, as producers, WOW! High marks from me! Sincerely, Marilyn
This a beautiful capture, i'm just not so sure I would of added such a large boarder across the bottom and the top. Still its a beautiful shot and I added it to my favorites. thank you
These sunbeams are hard to capture without having a) lens flares or b) a polarizing filter. From the rich colors you have in this shot I'm guessing it's b). The cropping and framing are good too.
I would much rather have had more of the pic and a lot less frame but as it is, I can place my desktop icons on the bottom half and they won't interfere with my viewing of the picture. Beautiful capture. The title doesn't fit...there's no waiting...the sunbeams are out.

Oh Ewa...the colors here are stunning and you captured them with such great clarity and have presented them to us in a classy, tasteful way. Right into my favorite;s folder on my harddrive and this will also run in my screensaver slideshow. Thank you :~)
I think your sunbeam has arrived, my friend. You got this very well, and I think your crop works excellently to draw out the horizon which is such a strong element in this shot. Of course the color are very rich, and the beams are gorgeous.
My word ...if this isn't proof that there is more to this world than what meets the eye, I am not sure what else can be added to finalize that discussion.
This really is breath-taking.
I love ... love how you have managed to capture the lights' rays, not an easy accomplishment technically, as I understand it. The colours are pleasantly sedate and take nothing away from the center stages' star. They provide for a perfect backdrop and setting for this glorious shot.
And it does conjure up questions in my mind ... the 'big' questions, if you will. Who's hand is at work here? Mother Natures'?
For certain, there is one unerring hand at work here, and it is yours Ewa. Truly beautiful and thank you for sharing, once again, your incredible talent and generosity of spirit.
p.s. Maybe a collaboration then ... Mother Nature and her reporter. ;o)
Beautiful photograph. I have a question though: Do you use the full frame (ie around all four edges) becuase the original photograph was too small to go all the way to the left and right edges at full resolution, or just because you think it looks better that way? Personally I find that when it comes to being used as a desktop, I prefer images that have as little border as possible. I guess it also depends whether you are aiming at the wallpaper market or the artist market.
