that is a problem when you have a camera with you, it takes your mind off everything..........I am a diving instructor, divers who do that frighten me............! you need to learn to dive safe....lol.

I think I would change the title a little..........

wow, little miss 'attitude'...........lol

excellent shot, but I think it is wasted here in this contest.........imo

congrats, and I agree with Jawshoewah, it does look like worlds end...

this is amazing........well done author, the sharpness is superb!

the shot is different, and well executed, but these objects are not shiny!

oh come on mekun, there is nothing wrong with this shot. what are you, a victorian nanny!!

not the best quality shot I have seen, and also not very shiny!

good macro, but a controversial title.....lol

thank you......I try to get shots like this, but so far I have not done too well....

rrhall, you have obviously never experienced high winds.........and seen the damaga they cause. In 1987, I lost two very close friends in the UK, due to high winds.....

scares me....lol......excellent capture, well done.

good, but, imo, the lighting is just a little harsh.

author, it is a sort of unwritten rule to do with anonymity......if two or more pictures are obviously by the same author, it could make a difference to how the shots are voted on, that is why it is not allowed.

I agrre with Arti here, the blue is the dominant color here, and does distract you. good attempt though!

you are right, it does give it a different look, but it doesn't look right....imo.

sorry, I have to agree with the others........

excellent take on the theme, and nicely finished....well done.

what settings did you use to get this........

this is more of a pose than candid....imo

excellent capture, answers the theme perfectly....well done.

nice capture, what filter has been used here..........

excellent capture, fits the theme perfectly.

good shoot, well caught.

superb capture..............well done. fits the theme perfectly.

excellent shooting author, a perfect image for the theme.

this is a lens flare, not a light ray!

this is lens flare..........

this is lens flare........

better.........now all it needs is some contrast, and sharpening...it is a little light, and a little oof.

superb capture....this must have been one mother of a storm!

excellent take on the theme........nicely caught, well done.

highlights a little blown.......pity, it's a good composition otherwise.

for 5 bucks, they should have been..........

clever idea..........well composed.

good macro.......well lit.

superb composition...........excellent lighting and dof....well done.

then you need to learn a little more about f stops and lens speed!.....good attempt tho, well done

ah, ok...........just wondered, I was looking at what looks like 'banding lines' from a printer! they show in the hi res

lovely, but this is lens flare, not rays.......

sorry author, but I don't think this qualifies as rays.........it is more like a kind of lens flare.

sorry to be so harsh here author, but Patty.....would you really want this hanging on your wall..that is the way we need to be looking at shots in these contests..........so many comments like yours, and they do nothing to help the authors learn. We need to be looking at and voting for the shot on technique and subject etc, not whether it is 'nice' or not.........

yes it is, but it is still ot!....

agreed.......

this is lens flare, not rays..........

pity about the cars in the shot!

sorry author, but it looked so familiar!

this is more like lens flare than rays.

I see lens flare..........
