First upload in a while...I hate lagging behind. These last few weeks have really taken me away from this and although I am still taking a shot everyday, I feel like I have left the community on here. Only temporarily though. Time is very precious at the moment when not working, which I am doing a lot of...!
It's kind of fitting then that the image shows me possibly in a state of relaxation. Which I sort of was...I was taking a couple of hours to myself in Birmingham recently in my hotel room before heading out for the evening with colleagues. Of course I wasn't relaxing that much because I spent at least 30 minutes trying to get the image :)
The light ray is real, just what I managed to get by facing the camera in the right direction.
Sorry for the late reply.
