This is the panoramic version of my second photo posted on TE (You can view it HERE

I would like to dedicate it to Mateusz Lang, poor 8 years old boy from Poland who has birthday today. He is very ill (silver-russel syndrome) and fighting several diseases every day while he is still very positive and full of life, very brave little boy. I honestly hope he will be healthy one day and will be able to walk, play with other kids and travel the world.
Little Mateusz has a big dream - to receive postcards from people all over the world. If you have a moment and could send him a postcard from where you are with some greetings that would be just fantastic, it means a lot to him and will bring smile on his face. Many, many thanks! His address is:
--
MATEUSZ LANG
UL. WISLANA 37
70-885 SZCZECIN
POLAND
--
About the photo itself - it was warm summer evening just after the rain passed by, clouds broke creating hole in the sky, sun was shining through creating rainbow and dropping shadows of clouds on the mountains. It was very memorable moment, I think there is 'hope' in this picture that's why I choose it for Mateusz's birthday.
It is created from 4 vertical shots stitched together.
Best regards,
Tomasz.

Hallo Tomasz!
A really wonderful, a breathtaking scenery you show us here. This view simply is gorgeous and I think one never does forget a moment like this one...
I like your idea with the postcards for Mateusz very much. My one is written and I'll send it tomorrow. All the best for this brave young man!
Greetings from sunny and warm Germany!

WOW! just WOW!!!!!!

brilliant capture. love the light and shadow effect and the rainbow looks gorgeous.. well done!

Hej,

Świetny pomysł z akcją pocztówkową. Na pewno prześlę. Co się tyczy zdjęcia - sam nie wiem. Bezsprzecznie przyciąga wzrok. W moim odczuciou jest ono jednak przekontrastowane. Szczególnie wzgórza po prawej stronie - jarzą się zbyt intensywnie deharmonizując lekko kompozycję. Czemu? Otóż zbyt wiele uwagi skupia sie automatycznie na najjaśniejszym, najbardziej "krzykliwym" fragmencie zdjęcia. Ale może w tym drzemie jego siła?

hello Tomasz,
this is spectacular. love the combination of blue and gold. the rainbo is magical. And I wish a little magic for Mateusz too. I will enjoy searching for nice postacards for him. I live on the border between Enf
gland and Scotland and so he will receive at least one from each place.

Hi Tomasz, Glen Etive is certainly a fantastic location and here you captured a magical moment. A beautiful weather situation with this double rainbow and play of light. Very well done.

Regards Steve..

Fiu fiu... Magiczne światło, na takie warto czekać długie godziny, a nawet zmoknąć. Niebo jakby szumi, kiedy człowiek zaczyna mu się zbyt upierdliwie przyglądać. Dlatego wolę chłonąć scenerię kompleksowo... Pięknie jest.
Pozdrawiam

Lovely capture there Tomasz. The touch of light and rainbow really makes this one stand out.
I'm up in GlenCoe/Etive quite a lot, so I know the place well. It's the one place where you can get some amazing colours in the sky.
Stitching looks good also, which software did you use.
Regards
Alex

Superb raimbow, dramatic colors (even if a bit over saturated), and very very good timing on taking that patch of light through the gloomy clouds ;)
The composition is superb, and the atmosphere terrific.
A fitting tribute to Mateusz.
Cheers!

Ciao Tomasz,
the right man, in the right place at the right moment and with a camera!
Very very beautiful shot: the rainbow is really bright, but the spot of sun on the mountains, reflecting in the lake, is really outstanding.
Bravo!
Laura
P.S. I will work here and there in Tuscany this July and I will send some postcards with my colleagues to the young braveheart!

Striking contrast and amazingly blue clouds.

Witaj tomku,

Wow, jak mawia młode pokolenie. Ale kolory. Ta tęcza jakby przedłuża się w wodzie, wspaniały kontrast pieknie oświetlonych stoków i dość ponurej reszty. Znakomicie udalo ci sie uchwycić podwójna tęczę - wyszła niesłychanie ostro. Piekna tafla jeziora. Super zdjęcie. Pozdrawiam

Czesc - niesamowicie to wyszło - ta lekka nadsaturacja buduje tu klimat jak z Tolkienowskiej krainy - super.
