Wow, what an amazing sight! The light on both the foreground flowers and the low clouds make this more than just another rainbow shot. Great work, showing us how the rainbow glows.

Great timing and execution. These moments don't last long, you made the most of it. From a processing standpoint, it looks terrific as is, but I might suggest trying to cool down some of the FG shadow areas which might make the warmer portions of the FG pop. Less yellows, more blues or adjust the blacks a little. Shadows just look a little too yellow to me. Very minor, would be a popular print I would suspect.

Fantastic Rainbow Dan! Wow, truly stunning sight to see in person! Great work! Just a small nit, I'd be tempted to crop or clone out the small lupine sticking out of the frame in the bottom (center).

How nice, a full 180 rainbow. The foreground flowers are a great complement to the bow. I even see hints of the double bow near the left edge.

I like the perspective with the foreground flowers. The color of the flowers compliments the warm tones in the landscape and the cool tones in the stormy skies. This is nicely done!!

What a great rainbow, with such a nice landscape to back it up.

Congrats, Dan! Right place, right time, and the skill to take advantage of the conditions. I'd second the suggestion to maybe clone out the middle lupine bisected by the bottom frame.

Sweet rainbow Dan! The rest of the sky looks great as well. I could also see centering the rainbow in the frame, but it works for me as presented.

Magical! I would agree about bringing out some of the blues a bit stronger for colour contrast with the yellows.
