November 2024 - CLOCK TOWER, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
About the Image(s)
This shot was taken shortly after a strong thunderstorm passed through the area. I was fortunate to be in a position to capture the double rainbow, while the sun setting behind me highlighted the far shoreline, where the clocktower was my subject. In post-processing I tried several crops but decided on SOOC.

I like the crop - but the original isn't available for comparison. The one thing I noticed on this one is the colors are subdued due to the lighting conditions. Brightening up the photo and bringing back the colors just a little would really make the rainbow "pop". The brick in the tower would also add to the photo with a little LR magic.

Hi Mark.
A fortunate moment captured well. I would be inclined to crop tighter on the L/H and bottom. The second rainbow doesn't visually hit the ground so crop close to the full rainbow, just to the point you feel comfortable then crop at least half of the water out. The effect of doing this is the rainbow becomes more prominent. Posted: 11/21/2024 03:07:49

A double rainbow in Venice, it sounds like the title of a movie. How lucky you were to capture it. It is a challenge to bring out the colors in a rainbow, but you did it masterfully. Posted: 11/21/2024 21:08:44
Hi Mark,
Your photo of the double rainbow is stunning and perfectly captures the theme-what a lucky moment! For post-editing, you might consider adjusting the brightness to enhance its visual appeal, though I understand how challenging that can be in low light. It seems like space limitations made it hard to capture the full half-circle of the rainbow. Have you thought about taking two photos and stitching them together? Thank you for sharing this beautiful shot! Posted: 11/22/2024 17:39:16
