Captured the image in Anusoni near Bangalore. Sky was more dramatic than I could capture. 
I have cloned part of stone fence in fg.
Thanks for viewing.

really nice capture of a double rainbow (almost). Lovely colors. I find the negative space at the bottom slightly more for my tastes.

Great use of the dark area of the image.  You didn't need to open the shadows for me to get that tropical feel.  The rainbow a bunus.

The near symmetric palm tree shapes combined with the symmetry of the rainbow work very well. The great colors in the sky complete the very nice picture.

Lovely sunset light.  The rainbow frames the silhouetted trees nicely.  I would consider cropping some from the bottom leaving just enough to anchor the image.

This is nicely done, Venugopal.  Getting both ends of the rainbow plus a touch of the double bow on both sides is a good accoomplishment.  The silhouetted palm trees speaks well of the tropical environment.  While I could possibly see cropping off about half of the darkness at the bottom, I do think this looks very good as presented.

The centered palm tree and the rainbows work very good together, and those colors in the sky are the icing on the cake. No nits for me!

Cropping the darker portion as per suggestion. Requesting to re-review the image. Thanks again.

Real nice sky and rainbow.  The silhouette and black space work fine for me.

Just saw the cropped version after my initial comment. I think it works better, but the original still works, too.

The re-post looks great.  I think it is a much stronger comp overall.

Venugopal,..the repost with the part of the bottom cropped looks great, and balances with the frame overall. The split rainbow is the icing...
