Sunlight in the woods

This photo does look a bit dark, but as you can see, the sun was starting its downward journey when I took the photo. In addition, the trees give a substantial amount of shade; but what I like about this photo is the sun shining through the top of the trees and the fact that I was able to capture some of the rays shining through. I guess that it also means that I need to clean the camera a bit since the sunrays seem to have got a bit smudged.
