Stream towards the beams

These rocks caught my eye while walking along Kairakau Beach, Hawke's Bay looking for an interesting composition to shoot the rising sun. Clouds were rolling in, and I couldn't believe my luck when these sunbeams came through, appearing next to the Hinemahanga Rocks. The stream connects the rocks in the foreground to the sea and clouds in the top part of the frame. The pattern of clouds in the top right corner of the frame provides a strong visual counterbalance to the rocks in the bottom left corner, creating harmony within the image.
