Nicely done! It's awesome that you were able to include the entire rainbow in the last shot.

I really like the sky in the first shot, Jet. Is that rain on the water in the foreground?

Nice!! The whole rainbow arc is a fantastic capture.

Impressive arc, the boat is distracting to me but does not take too much away from the shot, that is for sure.

Thanks Mahesh - I love my 10-20mm!

That last shot is magnificent! Do you mind if I ask your set up, or PP techniques?

Thanks mate, yes it is. I thought about cropping it to more of a pano, but It didnt look quite right to me.

Thanks 2wistd. I kinda like the boat in the full arc shot but think it could have been framed better in the other one. Never mind

No problem - all of these were shot with a D200 and Sigma 10-20mm with a Kenko circular polariser.

PP consisted of cropping, a slight curves layer, and on one or two a little bit of high pass sharpening.

I'm limited in photoshop but I think these work well without any over the top processing.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

I don't really care for HDRs, especially since the ones I mostly see posted are always of the over the top, out of this world, "look at what I can do in Photoshop" variety.

#1 is the most interesting for me, Jet.

I think this is a case where the Rule of Thirds could help. The image is not well balanced, as is. Either emphasise the sky or the water. The sky is delirious, so I would go that way.

The rain on the water I'm sure was fascinating live, but it doesn't come across successfully in the photo. A smooth surface would have worked better with the sky, I think. In fact, a longer exposure might have lifted this image to something more special.

Thanks mate,

Yeah - I cant say I've managed to master the HDR. I think you are right in that many are over the top, but I think they have their time and place.

Thanks for the crit Neil,
I agree that the photo would work a bit better had I composed it using a bit more sky. I don't think cropping now will help too much.

I don't mind the rain, and due to the circumstances I was shooting in, a longer exposure was impossible. We can always dream

I love #4!! clap
