This is a 2 1/4 negative scanned with a Nikon 8000

I was on my second motorcycle trip out west and drove past this shot not wanting to deal with the rain and unpacking the camera but I'm so glad I turned around !

Great image James. I'm glad you turned around too.
It's so beautiful.
I can never seem to catch the colors.

James,

Nice job getting the rainbow. Though I don't necessarily dislike the tree in the left as framing, I don't feel it is needed here. The treeline as included along the bottom frames it nicely. The mountains are well placed in the image with slopes left and right receding into the BG to add depth. Clouds and haze also add that sense of depth to the image.

Overall the image is dark. I would recommend a curves adjustment, place a point at center of the curve and pull up and left to lighten the image.

Hi James,
Agree with Robert on a bit dark overall and another vote for not needing the tree on left. I might also note tha looking at the island in the middle........a 2 degree CW rotation may be needed. This has a ton of mood and I'm a huge fan of that aspect.....just a bit of lightening all around may do the trick. Way to be persistent!
