There seem to be a few blotches ? raindrops. Any way you've composed this in an interesting and effective way to show scale. Great rainbow.

Floyd,
that is one awesome rainbow! Wow, intense. Not sure what your thoughts might be, but I'm real tempted to want to rotate this so the ground is level. Entirely possible of course that the ground was sloping and this is exactly true, but I think there's just a natural tendency to want to have things level.
In addition to the "blotch" that Kah Kit mentions - it's just left of center half way between top and bottom. Also, it looks like you've got some black border on the right and upper edge - possibly that resulted in a rotation and that's leftover from cropping.
Killer rainbow; great sky and color too.
Lon

Stunning rainbow. I always enjoy these kinds of open country shots. Kah Kit and Lon covered my nits, especially the rotation.

Well captured - I would try and brightnen up the building a little bit (which appears to have a halo around it). I think as depicted it's too hidden and doesn't add much to the scene.
