This image was taken during a visit to Upper Antelope Slot Canyon in Arizona. The canyon is well known for the amazing morning light that appears in the form of a beam from the ceiling. Much less common is for a double beam to appear and then it lasts only briefly. The moments when the two beams shine together is magical.

The double beam of light is really nice and helps to set the image apart from others. As a suggestion, you might try to open up the shadows a bit and brighten the rock wall to reveal the wonderful reddish tones. All in all nicely done and I hope you enjoyed the experience.

One beam is great, two is better! I might have tried a couple of exposures and blended in some detail in the light spots on the floor. I might have tried to back up a little to keep the lower spot in the frame as well. Nice shot.

Fantastic double beam. My only wish is that it wasn't truncated slightly at the bottom.
