Haven't decided if I like this one or not. Grabbed it on the way to work this morning.

    Seems overall a little bright, not much contrast. The building kind of blends into the sky.

    I love the shot though, composition, building, rainbow.

    May just need some more tweaking in PP...for me.

    Hey Phil, great to see shots from you!

    Lovely double rainbow, and this must have been a great opportunity for sure. It looks a little warm, but if it was rainbow-ing and it was in the morning, I bet the light was pretty dramatic at the time to begin with.

    I think maybe focusing more on the top of the mission and the rainbow, and leaving out a lot of the actual building and ground would make for a powerful composition. The architectural elements at the top pair very well with the natural phenomenon of the rainbow.

    Hope you're doing well and that you keep shooting and showing! :D

    I think the composition is actually quite nice. The only thing I might tweak a little is adding a tiny bit of contrast. But, I like it a lot.

    I think your right a detail shot of the cross and the rainbow would be nice. I've got to remember to put the longer lens on more often.

    Candid Arts,
    Thanks,
    I'm still playing with brightness of the mission, I definitely have some PP work to do.
