My son and I raced off the golf course in the Outer Banks of North Carolina as lightening, thunder and a storm approached. It was only after a tremendous downpour occurred did we learn that a tornado had touched down not far from where we were. After it had passed a beautiful rainbow appeared directly in front of us. I always have my camera with me! Truly an extraordinary rainbow!

Is nice but somehow misses the punch. I think the golf cart distracts, and the crooked horizon both reduce the effect of this photo.

Great capture - placing the rainbow arch over the golf course and buldings works very well.

I always think rainbows are extraordinary. Is it just me or do you see fewer of them then when I was younger?

What's with the golf cart?? Crop out the bottom inch and about a half inch of the top, then you'll have a keeper.

Although this scene probably has a hill. the tilt to the horison is disconcerting. It might work better if it were straightened. Sometimes quick viewers get the seasick sense that "something is off" without identifying it as tilt an you lose points here and there.
