I don't do a lot of these but when the opportunity arises.

Beautiful light rays- but the sky is reallllly pixelated. I can't tell if it's just heavy JPEG compression, or if it has something to do with post processing.

That's exactly what first struck my eye when I viewed the image. The sky is not a nice even gradient, rather it is splotchy. I know that real skies are not splotchy like this, so it must be something that happened with the digital file, either with the creation of the file or with the processing after the fact. I wonder if there is a way that the OP can get this sky to look smooth and natural, the way the sky really looked at the time the image was taken?

Nevertheless, it sure is one heck of a nice horizon opportunity to be able to shoot.
