Rainbow in the Smokey Mountains
« on: July 29, 2018, 18:18:11 »
Hi all.

I was lucky enough to find a complete double rainbow in the Smokey Mountains. Unfortunately I did not have a lens with me wide enough to get the whole thing in. So I took two shots and merged them.

As always, any comments, advice or criticism very welcome.

Color and composition are very pleasing, but then I'm always looking for a way to turn a scene into a 'wide screen spectacular.'  Personally, I'd try more sharpening on the final jpeg output.

Hi Jakov.

That would have been great. Unfortunately all there was was a barbed wire fence.

I appreciate the composition tip.

Thank you DNSJR.

Considering the fact that the two shots were handheld, I was pleased with the way it turned out.
