I like that sky too. We get the same here a lot in the summer, but not so often in winter.

Thanks for the input. It was a total experiment and I would have never submitted something like this because of the unclarity. I think I put some blur on it, too. It really lacks depth. The other ones I took without the rays, also didn't have much depth.
Here's the B/W version - definitely has something. Good idea.

Yep. Cropped version works better. Either way, this is a good shot. You did a great job getting the color just right, and the little bitty plane gives a good sense of scale.
