The weather was perfect for this type of shot that evening. The clear air in front of me, low set colored sun from an angle from the left through the haze with rainclouds to form a strong rainbow, the calm sea which reflected the rainbow very strongly, and then of course the mountains behind. I don't think the oportunity to capture something like this will happen to me again anytime soon.
[Some people will recognize the scene from my previous submission with the same scene last year, but this is not the exact same photo. This version I shot in landscape, and I edited it now because I needed a landscape version with higher quality for print for gallery purposes, so the quality has been upped quite a bit as well; The reds are "kept in place" this time]
Post pro includes contrast enhancements (obviously) mostly done in RAW tools, so the image is quite a bit darker than the original capture, this to bring the rainbow forward. Removed noise as well. But no manipulations per se. Saturation has been upped about +10.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
