How do you like my composition? Do the streaks of light bursting from behind the clouds look appealing to you?

Thanks

I love the rays, especially the highlight on the water, but I think I'd've zoomed out a little and placed the sun in the upper left intersection of "third lines".

I agree with the rule-of-thirds suggestion. I wonder if the rays would pop more if the exposer was lowered slightly. I like the colors. I attempted to get an image like this previously, but did not get as good of colors. I'd like to see a crop with the "burst" in the upper left.

A very nice shot. The rays of light look fantastic. Good work. The composition is great and the streaks of light are fantastic. Once again, good work
