This is a really nice capture of this landscape. Looks like you picked the perfect time of day with very good exposure and composition.

Gotta love it! Grea idea :) A phew nitpicks about the image would be the slight blueish spots on the edges and green ones ones on the plate, just seems somewhat out of place. Not technically perfect but lots of extra points for creativity. 8

A very good image that would've got a 9(there's a slight color cast in the sky) from me without a challenge theme in the way. Not perfectly on topic in my mind, so just a 6 for now. I will look at the image again later and see if I get it.

I'm still here LOL. The color cast is gone when I look at the image at my non calibrated LCD monitor, so it's probably a non issue due to displays being calibrated differently.

Beatiful capture of those rays. Would only suggest cloning out those sensor dust specks closer to the right side of the photo.
