Last Rays of the Sun

This image was taken about 30 minutes after my earlier post called "The Passing of Time." I had been fooling around with a Lee Big Stopper filter and was not too happy with the heavy overcast sky. But then, just before sunset, the sun broke through the clouds at the horizon with such intensity that the entire break wall and the green moss on the rocks began to glow in the sun. I ditched the Big Stopper and replaced it with an ND grad. But now, maybe I need to get a reverse grad filter :-)
