Surprise Rainbow
Was set up to shoot birds in the flowering tree from inside the house through open sliding door. Rain had just finished and the rainbow suddenly was in the background.

Oh boy, Jerry. This is my new fav. shot of yours (that I've seen). Great soft light, blossoms and a beauty of a rainbow. Did you take any other compositions just to down and right? Mabye with a bit more focus? I'd be curious to see them. This is pretty cool though. Nice work.

Jerry,
This a sweet image. The blurred trees in the background are a little distracting. Other than that, I think you have a real winner of a image. :toast:

This is an awesome catch, and good thinking on the comp...as Erik basically stated, it if those branches were not in the comp, this would be perfect...

Excellent moment! I bet there was a big smile on your face when you saw the rainbow appear. :cool:
