Great photo, Slippy. Such rich colors and nicely composed. I only voted on about 60% of the photos this time, so this is the first time I've seen this one, but it would have got a high vote from me.

Excellent composition and light. Very balanced with the sun vs. the tree. I wonder if you did some HDR or heavy levels adjustment to get back some detail in the side of the rock; if so you did a very good job of it.

The streams of light are my favorite part. I love the contrast of the reddish-orange rock and the blue sky.

Great colors and I'm a sucker for light rays. Back to bump you up to 9.

great shot. Not sure if its my eyes(?) but the photo seems tilted to the right. The little tree alsao seems a littl eblown out.

Nice idea, but the lens flare doesn't help. I'm also not sure why the sun is shaped like it is, don't think it helps. Beautiful vivid colors, nice compositon although not terribly original.

nice use of HDR tonemapping. it almost borders on too much, but you did a real good job of controlling saturation especially the reds.

Sometimes sunrays can be distracting but I like the way they seem to point to the tree. Nice capture.
