Another Rainbow

[Stevewebb]

This is another rainbow shot from a couple of weeks ago. i have been saving this one to process as it's my favourite.

I love the way the rainbow seems to be coming from the church. i wanted to think of a clever title to do with the Noah old testament story but I have failed. Any suggestions.

This is also the first time I have used Lightroom 4 so it was a good experiment for me.

Dear Steve,

This picture appeals to me on several levels. What I first saw was how the tire tracks lead into the rainbow and church. Beautiful. I love the true colors of the rainbow. Then I wondered if more detail could be teased out of the clouds.

I saw the rainbow as illuminating the church. I like that the interpretation is open.

The image is really nice, Steve. How about changing the light distribution within the frame by selective dodging and burning to highlight the church as the main element and the rainbow as secondary? Something like this if you may:

Thanks Marie and Willie.

I had already darkened the crops down a bit and brightened the church up but I like what you have done with the sky and rainbow Willie. I think I have more work to do with this to get it right.
