The paradox of life is that throughout it you create your own prison by how you perceive reality... and then try to escape from it...

Lord, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

I dunno why you seem to think you have a problem taking pictures. This is wonderful. If you want, I can show you a trick you can use to make it look really cool and ghostly. You'd have to change the category to photomanipulation, but you could always submit that as a separate deviation.
can you tell me ? i dont know many things about photography and i would be glad to learn

you said before that :

1. Open the photo in Photoshop. Bring up your channels pallette.
2. CTRL-click on the first item in the channels pallette (the RGB, or composite channel). This will create a selection based on the luminosity values in the image. In other words, anything that's white will be fully selected, anything that's black will be unselected, and anything in between will be partially selected depending on how bright it is.
3. Go back into your layers pallette. Type CTRL-J to make a new layer from your selection. It will appear that nothing has changed, but if you turn the visibility of your background layer off, you'll see that your new layer is composed of just the highlights of your image. Don't forget to turn it back on before going on to the next step.
4. Make sure the highlights layer, not the background layer, is selected in the layers pallette. From the menu bar, select Filter > Blur > Radial Blur. When that dialogue box opens, change the Blur Method to Zoon, the Quality to Best and the amount to something like 80. Play around with that last setting if you want. In the Blur Center preview, you can move the centre point up and a little to the left, so that it appears the light is coming through the top of the tree. Hit OK.
5. This one is optional. At this point, you've created the illusion of light streaming down through the tree. You could refine it a little more by adding a layer mask with a radial gradient to create some falloff, or you could flatten the image and add a lens flare (Filter > Render > Lens Flare) and position the centre of it over the centre of your radial blur.
Try it a few different ways, to see what you think looks best.
