I gave this an 8. Simple natural beauty 'magnified'. Who knows about 97th place. Very good spectrum capture. Good title. Taking liberty of adding to my Favorites.
I adore the brilliant colors of this rainbow. Gorgeous. Unfortunately, I'm not receiving a very zen vibe from the image. I think you used the natural light very well and the focus is good, especially with the subject you chose. I like the composition, but I'd suggest cropping off about an inch and a half so that the vegetation is in a compact corner and the rainbow acts as a bit of a balance and growing out of that corner. Well.. it makes sense to me! Heh. At first I didn't like the blandness of the background (not that there was much you could do about that) but now I think it does a suitable job as foil for the bright colors. I gave a 5
Although this generates a sense of calm, there is too much detail here for my eye to be at rest. I'm drawn into the colors, the trees, those small details make it a bit busy in my opinion.
