.....and I can see why. Very nice picture. If I could offer a suggestion - you may want to think about a copy of it straight vertical also. I understand that this is popular in some circles but traditionlists {okay, old like me} may prefer the same old. So many aspects of this are subjective. Very nice capture - very nice technique.

Thanks! I will give the straight vertical a try tonight! I am very new, so I welcome any and all critiques and suggestions! :D

Again i am in agreement with Mr Notnobuddah. :!: the angeled horizion may be artsy but subconciously it makes the mind uncomfortable because it is not true. The rainbow is fantastic and I would have loved to see more of the human in the shot. But good job you clearly have a creative eye. :thumbup:

I like the post processing, the desaturation with the rainbow strongly colored is eye catching; the type across the bottom is a nice touch too.

After straightening the photo also take some of the blank sky off of the top of the photo, that would tighten up the composition just a bit.

Post more soon.

The color might be slightly different from the first one too. I started all over.

I like what you have done with the image but (there is always a but)it looks like you took the suggestions to heart, but it still seems to be about 3 degrees slanted to the right and the text has disappeared.

Just my two cents,

Eric
