I was driving along in the rain and the rain stopped. A few minutes later the clouds broke and I pulled over and got this shot. The god beams only lasted for ten minutes or so then the sky rapidly began to clear.
As usual, any comments or suggested would be welccome, especially concerning light balance: contrast, hue, etc.

The sun rays there are beautiful, and a beautiful element in the photo. They seem to have brought out a really great spectrum of color in the rest of what you captured there–an effect I’ve often noticed when a little bit of sun shines through clearing rain/fog.
I am thinking a BW conversion, but then I am a sucker for B&W.
What a special moment. I like the overall soft feel of the image. I wonder if reducing the contrast a bit might strengthen that feel (if that is what you are trying to convey).
An unusual and special scene. I do wonder about a little less color saturation – it’s a difficult balance with an image like this where subtle color is a strong element.
