Nikon D2h, 28-70mm f/2.8 AF-S, 4 image Pano, Stitched with Realviz Stitcher

I haven't contributed in quite some time. I got stuck down in southern New Mexico and pretty much had every afternoon free to shoot the thunderstorms that where everywhere pretty much everyday. This was one of the more "dry" images I took.

Cheers

Killer shot Tom. The pano format is a good choice. The clouds even cooperated and opened up to let the yucca stalk be over some blue sky. Oh, the rainbow is awesome as well!!!

Great photo ! I love all the "shades of white" and the lonely plant with distant rainbow makes it special.

Thanks for sharing,
Rudi

I love the pano format and the comp. Nice job with the stitch. Maybe a bit less frame top and bottom for my taste.

Lovely shot Tom.

Tom,

This is so excellent. The shades of blue and white, the rainbow. A great shot and the pano is perfect. This is not a nit; the only thing I would do differently is place the plant more to the left at the 1/4 point. However, it works quite well as you have it at the 1/3 point.

P.S. Seeing Ken's comment, it did not dawn upon me that the plant and rainbow have a pleasing compositional placement. Duh!
