Rainbow over the Sierra

[Timmeh]

I was hoping something like this would happen with all of the low clouds over the Sierra. The sun finally broke through in the east and made a reasonably intense rainbow. I caught its peak and then ran up the hill for the wide angle image. All comments welcome!

Wonderful positioning for the rainbow in the first one - great composition. Nice you were able to reposition yourself for the second one as well - nice tight little rainbow.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Very nice composition in the first one - a clear winner.

Excellent images, Tim.

Like Oliver said, luck favors the prepared. Did you get a good one without the rocks?

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great imaging Tim

Thanks Jim! I wandered around looking for comps that worked with just the rainbow and Sierra, but either the rainbow dimmed, or I didn't find anything I liked.
