Pretty hard to spend any time on Kauai and not come away with some wonderful rainbows.... this one's at Ke'e Beach.

Very nice and a bonus second bow, too. How did you manage to capture this without capturing some people, too? (Very early morning?)

That is a lovely bow, Dave.  The spot of sun on that nicely angled beach looks great as well.  I see hints of the 2nd bow.  Sure whets my appetite for another visit to the Islands.

Very lovely, especially with the secondary rainbow peeking through as well! If I had to pick a nit, then it would be to have a bit more detail in the dark forest parts to the right. But this is nice as is!

I really like the proximity of the bow here--it looks like you could just walk out to the end of it.  The dark sky and the line of trees also complement the bow nicely.  I do wonder whether there was any sand in between you and the foreground vegetation.  Having a clean line of sand along the bottom of the frame would (in my opinion) better place the viewer in the scene than the cutoff foreground vegetation, but I realize this may not have been possible.
