Firestorm
I caught this rainbow about 6 miles south of Poncha Pass a week ago. I was trying for lightning, so I followed a storm front up Poncha Pass from Salida, then saw the sun breaking through on the western horizon after cresting the pass and decided to drive until some color happened.

5D, 100-400IS, polarizer

Man, this is really cool! Talk about chasing the light! Looks like you and the 5D are gonna make a great team.

usually rainbow shots are ho-hum, but that's a real interesting variation! I agree it's a great shot, but i wish there were something in the lower lh side (aside from your name!), which is a bit empty.

Sweet shot, Don! The rainbow really makes the shot, but the quality of the light on the mountains is also fantastic.
