It's been awhile, but I have been out shooting when I can. Here is a photo that I took of my daughter. Yes the processing could use some work and the banding in the sky is a bit bothersome (most likely of me trying to get the rays to show, ok because I was trying to get the rays to show more); but I do love how the rays of the sun hit her and align with her body.

Please don't hold back any comments, suggestions, tips, tricks or feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks GPoyner

In my judgement, you might do a bit of cropping, otherwise a very nice image.

Her pose is very beautiful!
I'd like to see her feet closer to the horizon with a solid sky behind her (horizon chops her in half) and maybe a tighter crop so I can see her face better.
But, the light is pretty on her body and like I said, that POSE is incredible. Good job.

An excellent pose, GP.and the light streaks are perfectly in line with her pose. I would crop a little off the bottom, say to the edge of her shadow also, i would love to see an enlarged view. Click "store original" Otherwise, a beautifully posed shot.

Thanks Lalezo - yes cropping is in order a bit from the top and a bit from the bottom. GPoyner

Thanks LLucas, I'm still debating on seeing her face better, in the means of bringing a little mystery behind who IS that dancer. Yes cropping is in order, not sure on the feet to the horizon, the solid sky brings not much interest for me. Let me think on that one...GPoyner

Thanks Rich, agree cropping will help a bit. I got a little hurry up and post since it has been a long time since I have posted anything; the pose is all her I have no coordination in my body unless of course it is volleyball! GPoyner

Great point! Didn't think of that...
