What an interesting way to enter basic challenge with sensor dust. Great pic otherwise.

Yes the sensor dust is a failure, but why is the sky so much lighter under the rainbow? This doesn't look natural.

An incredible shot, I am interested to see how it holds up in the "FAILURE" challenge. Very good shot, it might not get the deserved credit.

The subject should be a failure not the picture itself I think. You put me into a difficult situation because your picture is beautiful (aside from the dust where a spot healing could help if the site would permit it), but this is not the right challenge for this one.

ahhhhhh.. but all is not lost. You are allowed to clone out the spot for selling this print at potential high $$$$. Just not for this challenge.. lol What an awesome photograph!! I hope you took another shot with wider angle capturing all of the second rainbow as well.

goodness great landscape and the rainbow is fantastic

Stunning image, but even with the spec, it doesn't hit me as a failure. Nice composition and great work with a tough exposure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2006 07:46:26 PM
wonderful rainbow, but I see failure only in your title. Dust spots don't count to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2006 05:24:45 PM
lol, hahahaaa... that's what happened to my lens cap entry, so I overexposed it (failing to put it against different color background instead)... nice picture though 8

Yep, kind of ruins the shot. Beautiful double rainbow you captured!

Where is the Failure?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2006 12:57:11 PM
This is definately not a failure in basic editing,take away the title would get a 9....sorry...5

Wow it is hard to find such a great scene. Full Rainbow, beautiful greens. I wish the office building wasn't in the lower right, for some reason my eyes are drawn to it. Great capture.

Failure !!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

hell of a double rainbow, no question about it, but sort of hard to see this as a "failure" just 'cuz of sensor dust.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/23/2006 10:11:13 PM
LOL! [Rolling On the Floor Laughing] :D Beautiful shot, even with the sensor dust. Thanks for the humor! :)
