Living in Florida during the summer usually consists of fast, furious thunderstorms that come like clockwork, thus creating very intersting cloud positions and colors.

focus seems extremely soft.

I like the grainy-ness of this, but I do wish for more details that pop out. As it is, it feels a bit flat and washed out. 5

Although I like the photo, I think it is softened a bit too much.

Capturing rays of sunlight on an overcast day is a worthy concept for this difficult challenge topic. But this is an example of a great idea that gets lost in the generally poor technical quality of the final composition.

You may have left this there intentionally but most viewers will see color and electronic noise in the image as a technical flaw and not an artistic expression.

Focus is exceptionally poor and the open areas through the clouds are excessively overexposed. That is very, very hard to get right in an image of this type.

Compositionally you could increase the drama of the rays by cropping about an inch off the top and right sides of the image. This will extend the influence of the rays across the full frame and give them a more dominent position in the composition.

Too much noise, and out of focus.

Nice catch. Little more sharpness would help IMO.

i like the idea of the picture but it isa bit too fuzzy for me, a good contrast, the light emphasizes the darkness

Nice concept, but a bit grainy and the light areas over-exposed. The composition is spot-on though, with the beams of light guiding the viewer's eye around the image.

Very grainy.

What beautiful colors! I found the graininess distracting though.

Seems out of focus, and the grains are enough to distract me from the scene.
