Last night I was treated to an awesome rainbow in the Ruby range. I took the first shot of it at 7:03pm and the last shot at 8:04pm. And I didn't even start shooting when it first appeared.
But here's the really weird thing: This morning the rainbow came BACK! I'm positive it was the same rainbow because, even though it was now in a totally different location, it looked exactly the same. Even the order in which the colors appeared was identical to the one the night before. And this time it even brought its friend back, too, which wasn't included in the first photo but was present for many others that I took last night. Freaky.

Another vote for #2. Really like the double rainbow, nice vibrant color. The spotty lighting on the hills is great too. Good job with the processing here.

#2 is EPIC!!! Wow, that's what it's all about...
You could tone down that neon cyan sky. The rainbow reflection is sweeeeeet!

The rainbow in #1 looks more dominant and powerful. Overall, I like this image more.
In #2, the greens in the grass look a little punchy to me. The sunlight across the mtn side is nice.

Really nice stuff! Rainbow sherbet - cool and sweet.
Yeah, something's been happening to my images in the convert-to-sRGB phase that ramps up the colors beyond desirability. Not sure what the funk I'm doing wrong, but it's relatively recent.

#2 is simply a magic moment. The colors were even in the same order? That's odd.
That second shot is really sweet. The partial reflection of the bow is perfect.

Did the rendering intent change?

Awesome. I should have gone with you instead of downtown portland with a bunch of dudes in skinny jeans. Like them both, but probably 2 best.

Dudes in skinny jeans and rainbows? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
