This does look like another planet's surface. Like I would know? I'd believe it. I wish the focus was a little better, though it's not totally necessary. The lighting is great for this shot and I like the fact that it's cut out so we can't see it. Good Luck - Inspzil

challenge -- met. i can see what you intended for the illusion with the sun rays.
technical -- probably couldn't be avoided, but i don't like the discoloration from the sun rays. also overall somwhat blurry.
composition -- subjects are pretty far away from the camera and too centered for my liking. the rocks make a fine 'other planet' scene.
overall -- sorry, i got to be honest, i'm not impressed with the quality of the photo (3)

Is the effect you were going for the beams of light? Unfortunately, the flares out weigh the beams. 5 Swash
