    After The Rain Has Fallen

    Pelican Lake, Mn. After magnificent thunderheads had built all day, we were treated to a spectacular evening display of lightening, heavy showers, then...this.

    Sure does, and this one seemed to get more brilliant as the sun went down.

    Brilliant Rainbow capture. I like the framing over the jetty

    Thanks very much for the comment. It was actually pretty simple as the colors were so brilliant people were standing around gaping. The picture practically took itself.

    I must say that I don't care for the border that you have added here but the scene by itself is very pretty. You have caught it very well.

    I guess I better stop adding that edge. Comments simply do not like that look. I thought it added an nice feel but,.... Thanks for the comment.

    Re: After The Rain Has Fallen

    first, I gotta agree with losing the border. IMO, it doesn't add anything to such a good photo as you got here. Another advice I'd give you is to get rid of the greyish cast/tint on the image. If you look at the clouds, you'll see that even the whiteset parts of it is kinda grey.

    Hope that helped, and thanks for sharing such a wonderful rainbow!

    Re: After The Rain Has Fallen

    Thanks very much for the comments. I will lose the border/edging. As for the gray tint to the sky, I didn't add that. I added a bit of contrast, which may have brought out that color. So, I will see how toning down the contrast helps.

    Thanks again. I appreciate it.
