Nice tones and layers - did you continue shooting as the sun dropped - got any more?

Great Shoot! Really love the light ray and the colour tone. It should more perfect when the sun set lower ...

Actually it wasn't. It was very different about 2 minutes later, it apparently needed to be in those clouds in order to produce the rays, they disappeared very quickly.

I have plenty more from various times and a few I shot at 300mm, I'll post those when I get around to processing them.

Thank you all, in the finished version I cropped a bit out of the sky... maybe half an inch, but I think anymore takes away from my vision of the shot.

I love all the suggestions though, I thrive on criticism.
