This is genius.... very dramatic

It worked fantastic. Don't think I have ever seen a ray of sunshine like this before. Marvelous!

This is so dramatic in B&W, partly because it's so unexpected. It really accentuates the ray of light. Great image, Mark! :)

PRO+

This one worked out really well in Black and White Mark - good thinking!

Just STUNNING. great work.

Love love love this!! シ

wow what a view , and the light beam is brilliant ... we don't see many shots of this with the light beam ... black and white adds mood and drama and the shades of grey create the pop ... well done , so beautiful !

Right place, right time PERFECT in B&W.

drama and mood together !!

Yes, the B/W really makes this photo work Mark...amazing textures!!

This is so amazing !!!
