henryk, really nice one. you said this time you didnt reduce the noise, rainbows must be appearing often in your place. we just get to see one every year or so in our place.

Hi Henryk
This is a proof that you stopped taking pictures and you started painting with your camera. The photo looks like an illustration from a children’s fairytale book. This is not a scenery any more, it’s a scene with perfectly set light and shadows. Absolutely perfect photo.
Cheers

This picture is just beyond description. Colors, composition, mood, lighting - everything is just total perfection. This should be a tourism photo for Utah. I'd visit. :))) One of my favorites.

Magnifient, Henryk. The composition is great, especially the whole rainbow and the "monuments." The lighting is great. I played with a noise filter and it does knock down the noise, but I lost some of the details in the rocks. You might try it on a low level on the full sized photo, though.

Pure magic, you can aalso add this to the decisive moment category, what an eye popping sight, you could easily make $ out of this, not using a noise filter was the right choice in this case.

The man up stairs must really like you! This is even better than the last photo you posted of the Monument Valley rainbow. Now I'm super duper jealous. You have done a wonderful job capturing this spectacular light. I really like the color tones on the rocks. Looks great.

Hi Henryk
Can't beat this one, it's light is pretty special. The rainbow looks unreal. I certainly haven't seen one like this. The colour of the landscape is quite rich too. Altogether, a stunning piece of work and you were lucky to be there at the right time. Great stuff.

Wow Henryk - this was sure your lucky evening. I don't think I have ever seen such an impressive view of a rainbow. The dramatic clouds and the gorgeous light adds a lot to make this an outstanding shot.

Really really nice.

Quite simply one of the best landscapes I have seen on TE! I bet you couldn't believe your luck when the rainbow appeared! Fantastic photo, and with the 'lowly' kit lens as well! Excellent work, straight to my favs and now I am convinced I must go there!

Hello Henryk,
What a magical photograph.
You were probably lucky to take this picture but without the photographer's vision, skill and sang froid, it wouldn't certainly have been so good.
You were right not to reduce the noise, it reinforces the rain effect that suits the dramatic atmosphere.
Wonderful.
Friendly
Henry
