actually, I can see the rays quite well on my screen! ok, maybe not as strong as you wish you would see them...

Chris, I see them, too.
Both in your unedited version and in Alex's edition (of course) ... and he did what I would have done and just as much as I would have tried to work out the rays some more ... any further and you get a fake look, I'm afraid.

I really feel the light POURING down. I like it.
I'm only not sure if I feel there is a little too much hill in the foreground !?!?!

The foreground is very dark , that s why to my opinion even if the light through the clouds is nice , the picture looks soso...

As the hill does not have an interesting shilouette, it is a bit annoying. but in a 4x2 panorama crop it would be cropped away, leaving just the rays and the clouds.
