Taken this morning, on Deal Beach. Driving along heading towards Walmer castle, and noticed the early morning rays of light coming through the clouds, was lucky enough to see a young couple with their chid playing on the beach, stopped as quick as i could waited for them to get in position, right place right time job. I have attached another VERSION but only a cropped one, not sure which one i like, but its one of my favourite images i have ever taken.
Many thanks for looking.
Cheers.
Darryl.

No choices for me !!! They are wonderful Darryl. Lighting is superb !

Very lovely shot, beautiful lighting. Very difficult to choose between the two - think the panaramic crop just has the edge, does seem to concentrate the eye on the rays and what's going on with the people and the birds.

Indeed a very difficult choice to make, however I shall follow the rule of two thirds and opt for version number two. An image full of divine inspiration and shed loads of talent.

V2 is stunning! It focuses attention on the important details. Those birds in the sky are pure serendipity.

It is really rather good, Darryl, I can understand your attachment to it. Personally I'd go for the cropped version; really just a matter of opinion - - in an hour's time I might just think the opposite!

Spot on with this comment, v2 is superb, Darryl.

That's a Beauty! V2 for me as the extra sky in V1 adds nothing/has little interest. V2 concentrates the eye on the rays and in particular the family/birds which a look a little lost in V1. In other words, just as others have pointed out now I've read them.

wow! super image think i like v2 slightly more but both fab, very dramatic and lovely colour

A wonderful image . When we were children if we saw rays like this we called it God Spoke. The little family group make this so special & the birds ! Amazing to get them all in such a great composition . I too like version 2 best . Extra sky makes no difference xx
v2 for me, would have been great as a big panorama upload.
What would I give to get to the seaside
v2 for me. Absolutely perfect for a pano. Lovely colours with the addition of the people makes this perfect. Well done
