What you chose to enter was a good idea. The rays of light are a beautiful representation of hope. There are a few things that you could have done to this photo to give it some "pep".
I would have straightened the horizon. They way it is now causes the eye to look at the picture at a slant.
Where the light shines through the clouds is a little blown out. I don't know if it was already like this or if you did it. This could be fixed a little with levels. It would be nice to have a little more contrast to give the mountains some "pop" and it would also highlight where the sunlight was touching the ground.
I would have also taken out the lightpole and the fence. Maybe even dodge and burn the clouds to create an impact instead of adjusting the pictures overall contrast.
I hope this was helpful to you. You had a great idea, and I am sure you will have many more. Keep trying and good luck in future challenges.

| Nice work. A graduated ND filter would bring out the detail in the foreground and make it pop. |

| Interesting light pattern through the clouds. Maybe a little more contrast would help give it some zip. |

| Very nice. I love sunray shots. It might be even more powerful if it was straight. Nice shadows on the foothills. |

| Great shot, love the way you'cve captured the rays. I think your title should have been more within the challenge specifications however...."Sympathy" "Religion" or "Bereavement" would all have worked well and been squarely within the challenge rules. |

The photo is crooked, sunlit clouds are completely blown out. Foreground is too dark and lacks detail. |

| I like how the rays come down and light up selected areas, but the area they come through seems quite overexposed |

| It may be the hill, but the photo gives the impression of being slightly tilted (down a bit on the right). Whether illusion or an actual tilt, rotating it CCW a little would have improved this in my opinion. Not sure I've ever seen a "Rays of Hope" greeting card catagory. |
