Morning Rainbow, a photo from Devon, England

Photographer's Note

This was the scene I saw when I looked out of my bedroom window this morning.
The local farmer checking his stock and unaware of the beautiful double rainbow in the sky.

Hello Gladys,
What a splendid view to start the day. I like the light and shadow contrasts and the play of light across the farmer's field. Sorry, no more little green faces to give out. Have a good weekend.

Hello Gladys,
Nice rural scenery completed with a fantastic rainbow.
Really beautiful light and colours because of the conditions for creating a rainbow. Nice detail is the farmer.

Greetings, Jan

Hi Gladys.
What a great capture this is. Lovely proportions to your crop, and a very good exposure. The light is wonderful below the still-rainy looking sky.
It reminds of my discovery about 40 years ago that at the end of the rainbow there was a grazing cow on a rural golf-course.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Gladys,

Was this really taken from the window in your home? What a wonderful place you must live!

I love this picture. Not only have you been so fortunate to catch a double rainbow but the lighting is just so lovely, the light and shade on the foreground field, and the brighter light on the distant hill. Lots of lovely detail of the cows and the farmer - him perfectly placed on the line of a shadow - and, of course, the rainbow disappearing right down on that house! Did you go there and fetch a pot of gold?

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Gidday dear Gladys

That's one of the positives of grey skies: rainbows. And here you got two for us. I love how the light reflects off the grey sky and illuminates the green fields so well. They're incandescent. And the inclusion of the cows and the people add scale and movement to the image. Congratulations.

Warm regards
Lisa
