Rainbow in the Dark...

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.
