Description

Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, "Jacob." Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." 

 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

my first critique and i have to give it with at least 100 words. well here we go.
This pic should encourage others to always carry their camera as you never know when you will come across rare photo opp that can inspire others or better yet, motivate others to buy your work.
i felt the vision was spot on. as far as originality, i have a similar with the same title but altho i believe we use different techniques, yours has a tad more impact due to the collection of clouds.
for shots like this however i would suggest utilizing a circular polarizer which would have helped bring more vibrance to the sky color and a ND4 filter which would allow you to slow shutter a tad to pull more shadow detail in the clouds.
a lil sharpening in ps may have been cool as well as a curves boost or contrast.
without the filters maybe some burning or dodging in ps but i rarely do that myself.
my 2 cents. hope it was ok
