Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)

Location: Niagara Falls
Date: Oct 12, 2007
Aperture: f16

 This is an outtake of the Maid of the Mist photo I entered awhile back. I actually liked this one better. It had some richer colors and a little better composition than the previous version. I only did basic editing to this photo and added no saturation to this. The colors just came out very rich. I hope you enjoy it out of all the hundreds of photos I'm sure this competition has to offer.
Thank you for your comments and votes.

Very nice Niagara Falls shot without having the falls in it. I love the rainbow over the boat.

Gasps of wonder and astonishment went up from the crowd. Children laughed and pointed. It was why they had come on this trip. Why they had paid so much money. To see the wonder that are the falls, and to spy, perhaps, the joy that is the rainbow. So colorful and bright, and no man could refuse to smile in its presence.

And in the heavens above, the gods looked down, and they frowned.

"Missed again butterfingers!" came the tease, and they all laughed and readied another rainbow beam in the hopes of hitting the boat and destroying all aboard this time.

Beautifully captured. Is this Niagara Falls and Maid of the Mist?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Don't see many shots where a Rainbow is captured this well. I'm so glad you were able to capture this. The boat for me gives it such balance. It looks so small inside something which is so large. Colors and detail is great. Such a wonderful eye pleasing photo to look at.

Fabulous rainbow capture. I like how it bisects the shot, separating the boat from the falls.
