Seeing the Qualities of Light

The green, the blue, and the sunlight.  This is Hawaii.  I captured this image just before sunset.  I included the black gate, the light post, the houses, and the palm trees in the background because each of them add variety to the image.  I wanted to capture the sun shining through something, not only because it looks cool, but also so that I would not have to make the aperture super narrow and use a super slow shutter speed.  I wanted to capture the contrast between virgin Hawaiian nature and development.  I think that the combination of the two can be beautiful, depending on our perspective. That contrast of nature and development, as well as light and darkness, is what I was trying to portray in this photograph.
