Beautiful capture of the sunbeam and lighting of the green hills. For me it would be stronger if it were cropped down from the top just to the edge of where the sunbeam spilled out of the clouds and cropped from the left to almost that same point. That would eliminate the huge blown spot and a lot of the very dark negative space on the bottom left. If the tree on the closest ridge could have had just a little more light this would have been a 10. So it's just a 9. ;) Congrats.

Nice countryside. Maybe could have included less of the sky to avoid that distracting blown out patch at the top.
