    Re: Rainbow

    I like the light and exposure Could you get the rainbow to move from behind the tree..probably not.
    I would like to see a bit more foreground and of course I'm saying that without knowing what's there but I think it would improve with more foreground and less sky.
    Nice catch.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Rainbow

    i like this shot alot it has alot of potential, but not thrilled with the blur effect around the tops of the tree's , most likely the result of your multi layered effect, perhaps we could see the original shot without the mixing layers,its a very attractive and busy area,good composition.

    Re: Rainbow

    The layering doesn't work, IMO.
    They aren't registered properly, did the lamp post and the flagpole really bend that much in the wind ?

    My first thought was it was a split ND filter, with very little graduation.
    Now I realise it's just a straight line in the layering.
    I don't think that works either, because you have trees crossing that horizontal artificial horizon where you split the layers.

    I agree with PBD. I think the original picture would be interesting to see.

    Re: Rainbow

    Nice idea and the right subject for it but your execution needs work.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    To add to what has already been said, you need to fix whatever you were trying to do with the lite post to the right of the car, it has a double image, Jeff

    If you going to do layering you need to use a tripod.

    Re: Rainbow

    Its got some nice even lighting. I like the geometry of the foreground and all, but like Frog noted, the actual rainbow is partially obscured. I also wish it was larger and higher (but we always wish rainbows were exactly the right size and where we want them....)

    I like the exposure of the first one btw. Successful layering I would say..
