Great light play in this shot.
Good composition taken so close to the water surface.

Edwin (2039) 2003-10-10 3:19

A beautiful and unique moment you captured here.
The overall composition is very pleasant, devided in three elements: water, landscape and a powerful sky part. Only your post camera work on the trees looks too obvious. The reflection of the tree area is much brighter than the trees itself... Still a great shot Jordi!

Good job... I love the lighting and the clouds... I think there is a little grain in the clouds and the back mountains. thanks for sharing.

Très jolie photo. superbe ce contraste vert-bleu. Great capture Jordi.

Teten (582) 2003-11-28 5:57

Ben fet Jordi, es una meravella de foto, pareix un muntatge per la quantitat de estats de la natura que hi han. Ombres, nuvols, l'arc, brillantors, de tot. A mes dels colors preciosos del llac. Una foto epr recordar.
enhorabona, sort i salut!

Amazing! This is such a beautiful image. Very well done. Maximum points for colors, light, composition, exposure... I don't know. Everything is perfect here. It's my favorit picture so far.

A real Treasure under this rainboy : this picture.

steeve (1493) 2003-12-23 7:31

I'm curios to know all the different process executed on the original. You pushed the pic a the limite of what I call art/photo. Interesting and refreshing presentation. Good job Jordi.

cool_s15 (4044) 2004-01-03 19:34

What a nice photo! The rainbow and the water reflection are so great here. The contrast betweem the yellow and the blue is beautiful. Very nice captured.

cyril (2748) 2004-05-14 3:39

Just amazing.
I like the way it is shot and the colors are so vivid. It seems to be so unreal that I wonder what kind of post processing did you use.
Good job

Absolutely fabulous light. I like also the composition, with the different light and dark planes and the scenery is simply unbelievably beautiful.
Great image. Thanks for sharing it

Absolutely amazing colors, but sharpened too much. Back off the USM a little and it would be fine.

Impressive work with beautiful sky, rainbow, water and trees. the reflection is too bright and causing some damage to the overall mood.

Hi Jordi,
I like thew drama between light and dark*great*
have a nice day*

hayzen (983) 2006-08-25 12:46

certainly a nicely caught rainbow, but the post-processing is very excessive, namely - oversaturated and completely oversharpened.

mariaeva (55) 2006-08-25 12:46

Wonderful colors and composition. Congratulations!

Nina (4603) 2006-08-25 13:00

You captured a wonderful scene Jordi, slightly let down by your post processing. Nonetheless well done.God was certainly ready to have someone press the shotter then. :)

rui_seabra (205) 2006-11-07 8:43

Magnificent scenary!

Many have criticized you on the excessive PP... they may be right but still... I like saturated colors, even if they feel a bit unreal...

Wonderful place... I wish I was there :-D

Hola Jordi, felicitats per la foto, l'arc de sant martí doble és impressionant, els tons blaus del cel i el riu són preciosos així com la varietat de llums que hi ha. Bon treball

jdwyer264 (1082) 2006-12-04 15:39

Good shot Jordi.
I love the deep colours and the crisp light. The rainbow is well highlighted against the deep blue tones. Also good speckled reflections. TFS
See what you think of my reflection posts.
Have a good day.
