I like the path of the light across the diagonal and the perpendicular diagonal of the floor boards.

Comment by ubique:
This is a very appealing photograph. The building is interesting and the shaft of sunlight is an irresistible beacon that drives the whole process of appreciation for the viewer. Even when viewed as a thumbnail from a distance, so you can't tell what it's a photo of, it's still a compelling image ... which just underlines the strength of the composition for me. And up close, the longer I look the better it gets. 9
Second Opinion: My top choice for this challenge ... because it's the most effective use of light to elevate an otherwise unremarkable subject into something special, and because of the very thoughtful & precise composition I feel this photograph rewards a few minutes digestion. Let's hope it doesn't get overlooked in favour of the more flashy but less nutritional snacks on offer. It's a 10.

Comment by TooCool:
IMHO this is a little two high key. I would like to see more detail in the snow. The trees by themselves don't have enough pop to make me say wow and the dark spots in the snow without snow detail looks awkward. Hard to expose well. Believe me I know.

Its a wonderful idea, I just think that it may have worked better with a little more drama. 7

I absolutely love this one :) Just a little something I wish is some detail in the path. But this is great photography. Well done.

I like the effect of the light on the sand in the background, and then the wood in the foreground, but I wish the individual planks were more apparent in the floor. Beautiful photo.
