awesome shot! amazing to get a rainbow in a shot of half dome. see my photostream for a 360-degree view from atop of Clouds Rest, which can be seen as the high peak on the far left edge of your photo.

Great rainbow. However I feel the entire shot is leaning to the right. This might be due to the rain in the background causing the rainbow? I would have liked to see some more contrast.

I certainly agree with chris16nz that this is crying out for some work on the levels to get more contrast. Otherwise a great mountain shot that has real power and possibly an outstanding one.

Rated 4.5/5 by the Rate My Landscape Group Maybe just a little PS work to get the textures of Half Dome to pop a bit... contrast, curves, etc. Great shot, however.

bambleweeney says:

A spectacular shot, id does seem to lean a bit - I might cheat a little and rotate a degree or two anti clockwise. Contrast - don't know, I can see where the other raters are going. Depth I think is what it needs, a bit of post processing to make the dome stand out and the background recede perhaps. Lovely shot anyhow.

Cool! Did you use a polariser to enhance the colors in the rainbow?

tklancer says:

Wow, thanks for all the feedback guys! I'll try to work up an improved version soon, though it might take a few days. It doesn't look crooked to me, but I'll play around with it a bit and double check. I also have an alternate angle that will require some work to make presentable...

@robertvoors: Well, I took the shot five years ago, so I'm not 100% sure, but I probably did. I don't think it would show up this strongly without one.

InWaves says:

if you rotated it so it didn't look like it was leaning right, all of the trees (and Half Dome for those of us familiar with it) would then be leaning left. leave it as it is, says I.

Beautiful combination. If only the rainbow was curving above the half dome. That would have been amazing.
