I must disagree with The King; I think the slightly uncertain separation between sea and sky is a great counterpoint to the severe geometry of the middle ground .. another bold horizontal division would be just one too many. And the easy, undemanding swoosh of the foreground road is a lovely magic carpet to carry the viewer into the story. Terrific!

Well, I wonder if the double rainbow would have acted as a bit of a brake on this? It's so complete as it is, that I really can't see how you could fit a double rainbow in without removing something else. Demolishing the barn, say? Nah ... this is just fine like this.

very pretty. the yellows look good to me but I would like it if you could get better color seperation between the sky and water.

First off, I'd like to say well done on a fantastic image! There isn't a lot to improve in this shot at all, it's almost perfect. I personally am surprised as to how it didn't achieve a higher rating. However, I'll have a go at trying to offer some form of explanation...

The primary reason I think for not going further in this competition is the relevance to the competition. Apart from the name you gave your picture, there seems to be very little to do with film in your photograph, compared to some of the other images in this challenge, which contain much more epic moments that we can really visualise on the big screen.

I get the feeling (although I may be wrong) that after taking such a perfect photograph, you felt that you had to enter it into one of the competitions, which is what a lot of people do these days and every now and then one of them pulls through. Your audience who would vote this image highly is also slightly limited as I can see many people might regard this as just yet another animal photograph.

Overall, I'd say that there is nothing I can really say to improve this image. You're clearly very skilled with your camera and editing processes.

Unlucky about this image, but I sense much better results coming from you in the future! Good Luck!

Thank you very much for all the comments! This is a personal best, which is funny since I made the picture half jokingly, after reading a bunch of posts about there being too many flowers :-) That's why in my mind, the saying fit the image.

Very well photographed - made the right choice in choosing monochrome.
