Great light rays, the shot shows quite a bit of noise, especially as you only used Iso 200 - have you processed it to drken the shadows ?

I used a tiny touch of pseudo HDR which I've been experimenting with, you seem to be able to add noise selectively to a colour or tone although I dont think that was the designers' intention! Here it is untouched apart from the mono conversion, what do you think?Great light rays, the shot shows quite a bit of noise, especially as you only used Iso 200 - have you processed it to drken the shadows ?

It's a beautiful image Ken. Looks really nice cropped down to a letterbox too.

cool! I love those sun beams!
Actually... I am a personal fan of grainy pics... I say go the other way and add film grain in photoshop!!
Its a nicer pattern than digital noise... and might add a touch to ethereal feel you have going here!
either way... cool!

Ken, I'm pretty sure you can avoid the noise - and have the same result as # 1 if you use some level correction and some dodge and burn.
After all it is a very powerfull shot - lovely light and it deserves some hard work

I like the dramatic contrast in the first one. If you can selectively add noise, can you selectively remove it?
You know, the more I look at it, the more I think you could crop out the dark clouds at the top - they seem to weigh the picture down.

I tried cropping this by scrolling the post in Firefox It does seem better with less of the cloud at the top, but I wouldn't get rid of all of it. Having said that, I really like this photo and it works nicely in BW. Great shot.I like the dramatic contrast in the first one. If you can selectively add noise, can you selectively remove it?

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
