I really like the image Jim, but the sun is a pretty big distraction for me. Cropping out the sun would really improve the photo for me....

Great color and mood!! I would echo Roel's comment about the sun. It draws my eye to there and holds it there. If it were mine, I would either crop it or clone it out. The rest of the image is excellent.

I have to agree that the sun in the extreme ULCH is a distraction to be cloned or cropped out. But otherwise this is a superb composition.

Nice mood and gorgeous light. I have to agree with the other comments about the sun. Just for fun, you might consider cropping this to a square, anchoring the crop on the right die and the bottom of the frame. I really like the tree and the hints of the elements in the background.

Pretty crazy light/atmos. Would crop just below the sun to eliminate. Fun!

Great mood in this Jim. I agree with the others about cropping out the sun.

I love the atmosphere Jim, and just get rid of the sun, it is a bit distracting,and you have a great image. Man all that gorgeous light reflecting off of all that moisture in the air.

Just sweet stuff.
