Mary's Photoblog
Rainbow delight.
Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 12 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This wasn't taken after yesterdays photo, but I hadn't seen a rainbow, where I live, for a long time. and I thought it complimented the rainy shot in my previous post :)

Superb shot. Have you find the treasure at the basis of the rainbow?

@Vanessa: Thanks Vanessa :) I was having a play with the camera, hoping it didn't start to rain on me again! I'd already had to take cover once lol :D

Maybe the treasure's in the house? Great shot MaryB!

@Bron: It probably is Bron, it was brought not long ago by a developer to renovate and sell on, think they made around £50,000 profit in the end!
@LuisRodrigues: Thanks as always Luis :)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
This is something I'd only wish I could do half as well as you have. I saw two very pale rainbows this weekend, nothing nearly as vivid as yours, nor in as picturesque a placement. Bravo, MaryB! This is beautiful.

@Viewfinder: Why thank you VF thats a really lovely compliment, and I really do appreciate it. It really made my day thank you again :)
@Evi: Thank you very much Evi :)
@Josh: Cheers Josh, it has to be one of the brightest rainbows I've seen in a long time :)
@Harald: Thank you Harald, you are very kind :)

Right place at right time, right composition, right colors and right framing. Everything is so RIGHT about this shot pal. :)

Carson from Portland, United States
The only thing better would be to have been there when you shot this! Nice one. :D

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Great rainbow, and it came out so well. Excellent composition with a satisfying balance to it. Very good exposure and processing, with highlight detail in the white of the house. (I would have hated to see that all blank and glaring!)
