 I drive by this barn every day to work & watch it change with the seasons. This morning, with the sun rising & a thunderstorm moving out, a rainbow was caught in the middle. Nature's palette of colors is still the best! It hasn't rained in our area for over a month so this sight is a blessing!

Edited with PSP
- cloned out a powerline to the barn & a few weeds in the field
- adjusted the contrast
- saturated the sky & barn
- applied a noise filter to sky
- selectively sharpened the barn

This is like a sweet bundle of joy image. The yellow/orange, the red and then the rainbow! Congratulations on your top twenty finish.

I love the clean, simplicity. Both the barn and the rainbow make for very interesting subject matter. Bravo.

Great capture. Love the colors and nice clean focus. Wish the big white letters weren't on the barn though. :-)

I really like this! I would have adjusted the levels a bit more to make the rainbow show up more.

Excellent capture and just the right amount of warmth in the shot. Good luck!

A striking, stark image and a legitimate take on the challenge topic in my view. It's a scene that encourages the viewer into some actual thought about rain and its consequences, as opposed to yet another raindrop on a leaf. Nice, effective composition. 7

I like the light in the roof and colors in the picture. Nice composition too. I would suggest to crop the cereals field down in order to remark the beautiful light and colors in the sky.
