Just the usual showery light Still getting used to Capture One but am liking the results better…still learning curve.
Thanks!

While the rays of light are amazing the tonal range seems too even resulting in a lack of dimension. Although this is probably an accurate recording of the event, a bit of post processing could improve its impact.
The light and textures look great and I feel drawn in to look at and enjoy this. I think the light rays look good although the ones on the right, down-sloping part of the mountains seem to be lighter over the land than they are in the sky, which seems a bit backwards.
Aaron, I love the showery light rays here, they are very dramatic, and the dark mountains does a great job of showing them off. I agree with @Tony_Kuyper, the luminosity of the sky seems out of balance with the light rays. I would burn down the sky above the mountain to bring it more into balance.
Cool shot, Aaron. Great atmospherics. I think I would be tempted to open up the shadows in the lower right maybe just a touch. I think that would help provide better overall balance.
Aaron,
Great capture of the conditions; the combo of the rain, rays and light are wonderful. My suggestion has the do with the beach line. It’s receding, so I don’t expect it to be exactly level, but still it feels like it’s not level. I’m wondering if the ocean/beach is needed at all? After all, it’s about the shower of light about and I don’t think the sea is adding anything. But then again, that’s subjective and minor.

This has a wonderful Tahiti look to it. It’s how we imagine South Sea islands should look like. I like the comp very much. You could warm up the sunlit areas on the foliage just a bit to accentuate them.
Thanks all. Appreciate the time. Will check the dodge/burn as I know this was tricky.
Regarding the shoreline, it was added for sense of place but because it is a bay and therefore curved it does give the appearance of not level.
hny all
