Great shot.
Sky feels too overpowering for me though.
lovely shot pete, and as alexis onfire says, once in a lifetime.
i think the clouds at the front are a bit dark though, can you lighten them?
As i said to you before, i love it, stunning image and once in a life time most probably
Maybe I'm mad seeing as everyone else love it.
Yip.
Got it and ruined it.
Sorry Pete, great shot, well captured and indeed once in a lifetime shot but I dont, and never will, like this over cooked style of processing.
I understand that you have to have a style of your own to make it in the world of photography and it seems so you are being very successful with it currently. I will not criticise you for your personal choices but it is not to my taste.
What a miraculous shot!
But if I were you, I would move the lens a little upward...
It's illogical logic, simply irrefutable .
I disagree
I don't see a style of over cooked processing at all. It seems odd really. The recent photos I've posted have been toned down really. Less "over cooked" than what I would normally do. Restrained. Yet, for some reason people say they're overcooked. Maybe I should be less restrained
You say that as if I did it just to stand out or to plaster a "style" over the image just cos I had to. That seems a little... odd. At no point do I ever think like that. I do what makes me happy. I process for myself. I process photos to get what I want out of them.
lol. You would. You took it! I'd lick the sweat from under my Grans bosom if you actually turned around and went "Yeah, you're right! It is ruined!"
Be as restrained or as free as you like Pete. I say overcooked, you say restrained. People have different viewpoints.
No, I said (or what I meant to convey) was that people (photographers) who are successful, are the ones with a distinct style and that yours is seemingly working for you. The only inference is the one that you created. Apologies if I didnt make myself clear in the first instance.
I'm generally a fan of HDR and certainly a fan of bringing images into existence, which wouldn't otherwise be possible to see. That includes most of the stuff I've seen from you, Pete .
In the case of this particular one though, I feel that it doesn't look "real" enough to make me see it for the truly wonderful capture that it is :|. It looks to me more like a painting, like an illustration form a children's story book (something biblical, perhaps ) and therefore the rainbow has less impact, as it feels too artificial - as if it was just added in PPing. Maybe if I was viewing a much larger version, where the buildings looked more real, I'd feel slightly different about it :shrug:.
The rainbow's a little too far over to the right for my taste. Can you go back and re-shoot it?
Pete, I am one of the 53,325,923 in this case. Obviously the rainbow over the city is the subjuct, but I like the way you get drawn to the drama of the sky too. It compliments the rainbow perfectly.
Love it!

I was waiting for someone to mention the HDR...
I wonder if people see what they want to see. "Oh its HDR its like a painting see." ....
...admitting that you were waiting for someone to mention HDR, so that you could belittle them for it.
Seacombe.
Harry ??? The barsteward !!! Always seemed like such a nice bloke too
Anyway, a full rainbow exactly where you wanted one ??? You jammy *******
Great capture, and I happen to think great processing too
Just needs a Golden Goose for foreground interest and you've a Fairytale image on your hands
DD
I think the rainbows been added in Jimmy... but don't tell Pete I said that..
To me this is more of a demonstration of what can be done with extensive knowledge and skill in post processing but not really photography.
