Rays of god

It must have been one of my most pleasant photographic evenings I have ever had.
I was constantly roaming around the area, finding new locations while the sun and the clouds where just creating lovely combinations.
I stood at this beach, a crowded summer beach but empty and lonely at the time of the shooting, waited to find a nice spot and then suddenly the sun and rays where forming what you can see in the shot.
Framed and shot again! :)

Beautiful shot mate, the sky looks a bit soft though..
:iconpestilence:
Thanks Drew!
I reduced a bit the sharpening of the sky because it felt way to strong and I had the feeling due to the strong contrast it would produce a bit of halos, I tried masking but since it had lots of details it felt awkward.
So I used a general mask for the sharpening of the sky and reduced a tad the opacity :)
:icondrewyboy:
It's not a bad softness anyway, it's not like the whole image looks soft cause the foreground is sharp as anything. I like it very much!
:iconpestilence:
Thanks Drew! :)
The print version is quit nice at the sharpening :) as well the wallpaper I've made (currently the wallpaper set on my desktop :) ).
