Will it pop? Yes. It looks like a little bio dome.

I do not understand your question so cannot give a yes or no response.

This must have been a technically difficult shot to capture, but other than admiration for the technicalities, I do not find the image particularly interesting.

Comment by unbreakable:
Great picture except for two technicalities. 1. A rainbow is a trick of the light and has no physical properties. The water drops that cause the refraction of light to show up as a rainbow can come down and touch the ground, so a rainbow can look like it is touching the ground but only around waterfalls and similar water features that produce a mist similar to rain. Rainbows seen across a sky are so high up in the air that they may appear to touch the horizon but will fall short. Also, the rainbow will move as the observer's eyes move, so you can never get to the rainbow. Had you stopped the rainbow affect at the tree line this would be correct technically. 2. to get a capture with the moon this full in the sky it would have to have been taken at late evening or night when the remaining strength of light would be too soft to produce a rainbow at all. All that being said...Great idea, nice shot(s). 7

Answer: Yes, eventually.
Question: Will it pop?

Very tough subject to capture.

#3, tied with another.
Completely random for this challenge. When you see nothing but portraits and landscapes, anything which is different elicits a higher score over here. This one has the WTF element to it which brings it way up. I imagine there were many outtakes I would have ranked as high also.

Nice capture, and even better on creating this over the blades of grass.
I don't see how it's a yes or no question though. it will obviously pop - it doesn't have the strength in the chemical bonds to get much bigger, it's just a question of how much bigger, not "will it?"

Nice sharpness, nice detail.
