Backyard Rainbow

Two evenings ago, my wife says - hey look at this rainbow.
After a quick glance, I couldn't get my camera fast enough.
Put on a CPL.
Now reading article that states CPL should not be used for photographing rainbows.
Now, i'll be awaiting another rainbow for a comparison shot.
Figures - first time I've used that filter . . .
But I think shot came out pretty nice.

Not only is the PL bad for the rainbow, it’s also useless for the blue sky in the same scene. WHERE is the sun in EVERY rainbow scene ? And what sun angle works with a PL ?

Uneven recording of the sky, due to the use of a Polar' Filter, WA lens. Polar filter does not improve any picture of a Rainbow. Law of Physics. I don't make the Laws, just abide by them.
