Ever since dtw78 posted a PS-generated rainbow in Finishing School, I have been suspicious of rainbow shots. This one isn't as nice as his, but think of it as a real person instead of a fashion magazine shot. :lol3

    I like them. Not often you're in a good place to get one that works.

    Great shot, Richard! I like everything about it... composition, lighting, exposure. It's just great. Kinda wish I could see more of the foreground, but it still works. I'm curious... was there something in the foreground unappealing, or did you just choose this composition to add scale to the rainbow? Anyway great pic. Thanks for sharing it. :D

    Looks like the end of the rainbow leads right to church :D

    Mary: Just about anything in Spain leads directly to a church. mwink.gif

    Seatime: The composition was intentional. I could have included a lot more, but it seemed like a good opportunity to do something that was minimalist. A couple of years ago I saw an exhibition of some Antarctica pics in which most of the detail was concentrated at the edges of the frame. I forget the photographer's name, but those shots really impressed me.

    Ian: Right, and (lazy bum that I am) I especially love it when I can get the shot from my own terrace lol3.gif.

    Thanks to all for commenting. thumb.gif

    Where would we be without Google...the photographer was Lynn Davis. Her home page has some Antarctica pics, but not the ones I (vaguely) remembered. BTW, she is also a master of printing and little tiny Web Jpgs don't convey the power of the ones I saw, which were huge and breathtaking.
