Twin rainbows

Bia,

Nice shot of the two rainbows! That's hard to do. FWIW, your greens look a little weird -- even for NZ I think! They are the hardest colors to get right when scanning, so I assume that's where the problem lies. But it casts some doubt on the intenseness of the right-side rainbow.

That's a pretty cooll shot! Funny thing..it seems as thought I can look "right through" the right hand side and middle trees to the rainbow or is the rainbow infront of the trees? Most peculiar...

Biabo,

Welcome here! This is a nice way to start!!
I agree with Lilian on the greens. Mahesh, I think what you see is precisely the way it is supposed to look. Where the rainbow is strongest it has the most 'depth'. When there is an object closer by, you only see a fainter rainbow.

Very nice!

Good job getting the rainbows. It was worth getting wet for.

I like the rainbow and the hills and you captured them very well. I would have tried to find a vantage point where the road isn't the most prominent feature in the photo

One of the strongest rainbows I have seen posted. Nice double, interesting to see the rain in front of the near trees still diffusing the light to continue the fainter part of the near rainbow.

Hi there

Thank you all for the nice comments!!

Lillian, as you said, this was really hard to scan and, yes, the greens do look a bit weird, but this is the closest I could get to the original. It does look very much like it though. The rainbows looked exactly like they do here.

E.J., unfortunately, there were no other nice elements to add as a FG, so that's the composition that I thought worked best. Just curious, what kind of prominent features would you be looking at?
I didn't have much time to think either, as the road was pretty busy and I wasn't standing on the safest spot. I guess sometimes you just have to be happy with what you can get, eh?

Cheers,

Bia

The double rainbow is great. Cool shot and welcome to NSN.
