Rainbow in Denali

[RichAK]

My first post. Headed through Denali National Park on the George Parks Hwy. Saw the rain on the left and the sun on the right and knew there must be a rainbow somewhere. When I first saw it, it was the brightest rainbow I have ever seen but by the time I pulled over it had faded somwhat. Heard the train whistle and couldn't believe my luck. Probably should crop out the road. Any other tips?

Canon 20D, 17-40mm, ISO 200, probably 8.0 @ 1/125

Welcome to the forum Rich!
I like the composition. I think the resize/compression has distorted your beautiful picture.

With the word "Alaska" on the train it makes me wonder if this is a new gold rush. I guess they want to be the first to know if there's a pot pot of it at the end of the rainbow!

Vey nice first post! Welcome to the forum.

[RichAK]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. With that encouragement I'll be posting more.

cfcrebel - it does look distorted doesn't it. Suppose I'll eventually learn how to compress and post the right way.
Thanks again.

I actually see a double rainbow...love the contrast of the train too. Nice photo and welcome to the forum:):)

Great capture. Yes, I'd crop the road out of this one, it doesn't add value. Getting the train in was a stroke of genius.

Maureen Souza - I didn't see the double rainbow until I put it up on the computer. Thanks for the comments

Sparker1 - not a stroke of genius, just pure dumb luck. Doing 65mph on the highway, rainbow pops up, find a place to pull over on other side of railroad tracks, shoot a couple, and then the warning bells go off. Just lucky...lol Thanks much for the comments.
