Great composition on this -- very balanced and strong feeling.
Technically, I love the high contrast in this and the bold colors. Even without the rainbow, it would be a strong image I think. The rainbow adds a nice splash of color, and an extra dimension of color to it. As far as being "lucky," well yea, maybe, but I've found that you have to be prepared and "able" to be lucky. :)
I feel it definitely meets the challenge, and I suppose dpc voters were looking for a bit more "context" or something. ??? I dunno. To me, I think this would make an awesome album cover, especially for some of the more alternative types of music out there. Or an album from the 70s.
I like this entry, and honestly think it should have scored higher.
Oh, BEAUTIFUL! How funny of you, who almost always does b&w, to post a color photo for the high contrast challenge. I think you may be entering a new phase in your art. This is in the same realm as Insectivora, which I also really liked.
Wow, this is GORGEOUS! I love the contrast, including the blown out part, and the colors in the sky are AMAZING. In addition, the perspective here is very engaging and dramatic. Great job!!
