I love the colors, and you can actually see where there is rain falling. Or at least thats how it appears. Very nicely done

The tree gives it a sense of scale, must've been tough not to blow the highlights. The whole thing reminds me of an icecream confections, yummy.

I gave this an 8 at the time of voting and I still like it. The light after the storm is fantastic.

A beautiful scene, well captured. I think a human element would have provided a stronger challenge connection- someone in a white robe or reaching skyward maybe. I can allllllmost kinda sorta envision the tree as reaching skyward, but it's a bit of a strech. I really think you need a human touch to evoke the spirituality here.

I get the idea here, and I'm all for thinking outside the box, but...

I feel like this challenge called for a certain reverence, which this photo does not give to the topic. The only thing making this a holy place is your title.
