Photographer's Note
Double rainbows like this are fairly common in Iceland, however they usually only last for a brief moment.
The low angle of the sun made this especially colorful, and even though my own shadow in the image, I felt that it emphasized the sun's position and added some drama to the picture.

Lovely Mark !
I love the use of the wide angle, the emptiness of the road (not difficult there :D), the great, a bit dramatic light, that rainbow stands out beautifully against the darker sky, you stopped at the very right moment to get this composition! I fully agree with you on the
shadow, it certainly adds to the drama and mood. Compliments!

Hi Mark!
An outstanding light! Personally I think it would have turned out better if the only shadow was yours but I still like the idea.
See you around...

hi, mark. a beautiful capture, indeed. good timing, pleasing composition. and i agree, the shadow adds some drama to your picture. whad did you do in posptrocessing? i sense some blur on the sides of the picture, but it does not appear to be a result of selective focus.
good work. TFS.
regards,

I love the stillness of the picture, and the shadows that looks like a reminder of something vital, thanks

Hi Mark,
Wonderful instant ! I love your composition, with the dark road on the right. It makes a big contrast with fields on the left. It's a shame we can see your shadow on the photo.
