These rays make awsome backgrounds for OCF flash portraiture. As your photos stand, technically they're fine (I might argue #2 and #3 are a bit underexposed), but they lack something. I'd like to see some detail in the foreground, perhaps a foreground subject to give the typical near-to-far perspective. The only way you can do this without losing the detail in the rays is to get a strong ND grad filter, or to blend exposures.

Good read. I had noticed the anticrepuscular rays in the past but I didn't understand the phenomenon until now.
