[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken up the Yarrow Valley yesterday. Had a trip to St Marys Loch, but weather wasn't too good, quite heavy rain with the occasional burst of sun.

On the trip back spotted the rainbow and grabbed the shot.

Titivated with Nik Color Efex and slight under exposure.

Hi Peter,

Nice contrasty landscape, lovely light and shade and holding the detail in the rainbow was a bonus, love the ominous sky.

Hello Peter, this is very nice. I like how the rainow seems to be almost a continuation of the burn.I like the way the water colour mirrors the sky.

Good balance of light and shade. The placement of the rainbow is about right. The heavyish sky gives the image some drama. It's good.

Excellent landscape shot - with the rainbow the icing on the cake. Its a good composition with the water leading the eye to the hills in the background and to the rainbow. Excellent stuff!
Thanks for sharing
Mark

nice work, post capture looks about right your getting into this Nik software.
only query, what is the mark above the lower hill to the right of the rainbow??? a bird?
slightly distracting

Hi Peter,

This is a very nice shot light in fg and dark brooding clouds in bg love the rainbow. There are some very nice textures and tone and the details are nice and sharp.

Regards
Jon

Very nice lighting shown to good effect through the underexposure and titivation
warm regards

Hi,
Good one, well spotted. Good light across the frame. You never have time when this sort of thing arises. Exposure looks fine, don't think it's not just cos your camera tells you so ;-). Thanks,
Dougie.

Fantastic scnery in all its simplicity Peter the rainbow and the cloudy sky are an absolute bonus.

Hi Peter,
the little rainbow is a great addition to the shot which is beautiful in any case. The canal is helpful to lead the eye into the compo, where the golden tone of the field and part of the hills is really well contrasted by the dramatic tone of the sky. Very nice presentation indeed, the whole lot looks very well balanced and I like it.
Have a nice evening,

Ele

Hi Peter
Excellent light and colours, moody backdrop with the rainbow caught well. Very well composed capture here, Scotland is very beautiful indeed.
Regards
Jim

Oh this is striking Peter! A lovely place you live. You remind me of Douglas Ritchie (Caledonia) here on TL! Nice work on this, beautiful capture and the rainbow is an added bonus! Nice work!
