Morning rays

Early morning sunrise with the sun rays streaking through the sky.  This one I had to take with the "dashcam"--I was driving so the photo taking was done pretty much blind while holding the camera up to the windshield but not looking at it since I had to pay attention to the road.  I just snapped away and hoped at least one would turn out okay.  I ended up with over a dozen shots in just a few seconds.  Although not perfect, this one did capture the sun rays and was not too blurry.  A little touch up removed the windshield bug splatter, lightened up the road, saturated the sky in two separate layers (one for the brighter area and one for the rest of the sky), added a vignette and the frame.
