Description I took this photo just this morning! There was a thick fog covering my backyard. So I went out for some photos, and right as I did the sun peaked out and produced this gorgeous sun beam !
Hope you all enjoy!

Trees in mist and sun in trees. It's a shot as cliche as a bead of water on a flower. This is exceptionally done, and just as with any other cliche, doing it exceedingly well makes it a more than acceptable exception.

This photograph bursts with that dreamy surreal feeling only found in places and moments like this. It's a rare gem.

The color is wonderful and white balance is perfection. It's warm and inviting and real. Very believable color, which I know can be a bit of a trick when you're shooting in a high-contrast situation like this. I'm glad to see you resisted the temptation to crank the levels in an attempt to draw better definition out of the light-beam. When it's the focus of a photo some people feel the need to make it the only visible part of the photo.

Composition is really my only quibble. It seems as though the horizon is slightly less than level and it causes the image to feel heavy on the right side, which is odd and out of place because that's where you're focusing most of your negative space. Mind your level.

Overall, a very bold photograph that nearly tells a story to us all in a way that's both magical and unfulfilling. It leaves me wanting more.

Thank you so much for your praise and critique as well! I agree with you, and I was actually thinking about doing a square crop because I really dont like the part of the tree that is coming from the left side, it distracts my attention away from the light beam...

Thank you! Sometimes it pays off to wake up early! The cool thing is, its usually always foggy at my house in the mornings, but I usually have to go to school so I cant take photos.

You're welcome!
Yeah, I'm not too fond of getting up early, so unfortunately I probably miss all the good shots! I hate that, when you see a good shot, but you don't have time to take it. That happens to me too.

Oh I'm usually exhausted from school and sleep until about noon on weekends, but today I woke up early because I'm so used to waking up early for school and couldnt fall asleep again!
