So, I understand that a lot of these shots have an incredible amount of "luck" involved, "right place, right time" sort of deal...but...that lends absolutely nothing else towards the difficulty level and the point of view that YOU wished to capture here. Most people stick to full wide shots with rainbows because they want to try to capture the full arch of the form; this works and is usually quite pretty, but it's not original, especially when they had the option to zoom the hell out of it and get in a tighter shot like you did. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile) - :)"/> It also helps that the colors have an amazing darker front and back drop that add emphasis to just HOW bright the colors of the rainbow were. And the rainbow isn't even the only eye catching part of this piece, which is another impressive thing. The landscape, especially the tree, is almost as eye-catching as the burst of color behind it. Even on a day without rainbows, this image makes me want to see this area in person. Makes me want to picnic under the branches and enjoy a nice outing, as sappy as that sounds. An image that an evoke that kind of response is an incredible image, there's no denying this.
