I love the way you used the train tracks to track the eye to the rainbow.

i am thinking this rainbow could be much more dramatic or vivid if you (assuming photoshop or something like it) darkened the basic exposure some, then changed the levels (if 1.0 is the norm, then somewhere in the 80's?) and then bumped the saturation up * you could even the the dodge tool on the rainbow with a medium brush after you darkened the image overall. that would lighten just the rainbow back up) .... just guessing, and sometimes, i just can;t help myself. i can't even catch a rainbow; by the time i stop the car, its usually gone. don't listen to me!

Location
I work for a short-line railway, so I bring my camera to work with me every day. On this particular day, I had just passed through a heavy rain shower, and as I passed through the shower, I looked back in the rear-view mirror and saw this amazing rainbow appear. I stopped the truck and stood behind the truck to capture the rainbow the best I could, because it was fading away fairly quick. The only sad thing was that I was too close to the rainbow to capture it in its entirety.Time
I believe it was late morning, or early into the afternoon.Lighting
All natural lighting.Equipment
I think I used my Nikon D3200 with an 55-200mm lens.Inspiration

When a storm is passing, look to the sky, because you never know what lies in the wake of a storm. ;)
