I rated this a 7. I think the comp may have hurt the score.
It is very interesting, but not quite balanced enough, imho.
I think the rocks overpower the image...just a hint at the bottom would be enough to anchor the image. I tried a different crop (it's a little tighter than what I wanted.... and it's just cut and pasted onto a black background. I lost the beautiful lighting on the right side by doing that, but I hope you get the idea.


Thank you too everyone for taking the time to add your comments.

HarryY... Yeah I figured I had nailed the lighting. I just wish it had lasted longer for a better composition.
bje2000... A 10!!! You are a wonderful person.
KarenNfld... Thank you. I'll try harder next time.
GregoryB... Thank you a bunch.

Marjo,

Thank you for the detailed analysis. The crop you did looks great, but like you said the sunlight and shadow on the right are gone. I was torn on this composition and it was taken with 3 or 4 hours before deadline. It is an HDR and while I had many compositions I liked better, this was the only set that had the good light and shadows. The tool configuration is what I hated. I changed it right after this capture but it was too late and the light beam never plowed though again. (I did momentarily consider chopping down a tree)
