 I stood in awe, as the crepuscular rays filtered down into Horseshoe Park this morning. The smoke and haze create their own opportunities because of the formation of unique light phenomenon.

I kept the scene very close to what I saw with my eyes. I was shooting in the direction of the sun and there was much smoke in the air on this day from the fires in Utah, Idaho, WY and Montana. At high elevations (I'm at 10,500'), the sky and scenery are unlike that observed at sea level.

beautiful scene, congrats on TT! I am wondering about the bluish tones in the middle of the frame - I would probably try to tone them down..

Perfect light for this scene.
I wonder if this would have even more visual impact if you toned down some of that blue.

For me the sky seems really overprocessed compared to the rest of the scene,giving a rather false finish to the image.

Very vast photograph! Looks like a scenic overlook. I'm sure it's very quiet here, peaceful. Nicely done

They cyan tones are a bit overdone for my taste, but this is a spectacular capture, and well-pp'd crepuscular rays.

I wish you cropped the greenery out, it spoils this fine image, still i love the sun rays.
