I headed out to Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge to look for some new spots.  There weren't a lot of clouds in the sky, but I thought it would be a pretty good sunset anyway.  I wandered around some and didn't find as many good spots as I would have liked.  After a few shots with "Big Stopper" that really didn't turn out I decided to turn the shoot more into a hike for some exercise and I was heading back to the car on a different route I came across a few tress that made a nice looking canopy.  I thought the Nikon 16-35mm might give a cool perspective so I started to play around some.  When I got to the other side of the canopy I had a nice hole with the sun setting right through it.  After fighting a lot of lens flare and being down on the ground to get the angle of the trees, I came out with a few shots showing the rays of sun.  I played with the colors quite a bit but at the end settled on a black and white conversion using Nik Silver eFex.
