Prajit, the crepuscular rays are terrific, well worth a quick pull off. Your tonal range is good also.

Good fast response catching the light while it was there. The dark silhouetted ridge in foreground is to be expected, given the lighting, but the darkness in the upper and left part looks too much like a hard edge ND effect. I think you could soften this effect but still get the look you’ve got here.

I love the light in this image, Prajit. A great feeling of depth.

Good for you to stop and capture this, Prajit, and lots to like.

Prajit, this is my kind of image. Very well seen and very well done. It’s very much enjoyable.
