.

This photo is a panorama of 6 vertical images.

All C&C are very welcome.

Cool!!!! I've seen one of these once, and wished I could stop the car and take some pictures. This is a great comp and I like the blue and green.

I think this is called a fogbow, similar to a rainbow but without the vibrant colors. I'd love to see one of these. Really nice capture Rui.

I've never seen something like this. What a neat phenomenon to have captured with the camera.

Neat! I have never encountered this before. Not sure I have really seen it photographed, either. Really cool light in the whole scene.

I like the aspect ratio you have chosen here. Very simple shot, and the fog rainbow makes it quite unique.

Very interesting mood and rainbow. The pano stitch just further accentuates the form of the rainbow and nice use of the tree to anchor the whole thing!

Rui,

What a wonderful, natural moment you've captured. The large version really stands out beautifully. No nits or suggestions. Something no doubt you will always remember.
