But there was no pot of gold--I checked!!!!!

I have photographed lots of rainbows from a distance, but never had one appear right in front of my face. It was worth getting soaked. It was a truly amazing event. The image was almost secondary. The rainbow lasted about 30 seconds.

Jack, I think this is one of the coolest rainbows and BG's I've ever seen. Amazing as it has only the slightest arc and seems to be firing out of the water's edge. Freakin' Fabulous!!!!
No tech comments, I just know what I like!
Well Done, BP

Not to shabby for a 30 second window of opportunity! Very nice capture Jack.

This is great, Jack. I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow reflected on water before. Outstanding image!

I think the inclusion of the foreground cattails gives a feeling of closeness - like I could reach out and touch the rainbow. BEAUTIFUL!
