Description

Used a curves adjustment, blending mode to color, to set my white balance. Added a Levels layer to help bring out the colors. Applied a color picker curves adjustment to level out the sky below the rainbow. Applied a surface blur that made the rainbow pop against the dark sky.

Exif: FNumber: 9, ExposureBiasValue: 0/1, ExposureTime: 0.02, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 200, WhiteBalance: auto white balance

Thanks everybody for the comments. I know I really need to work with the bottom of the picture, and really have no excuse why I haven't. I totally agree with The Judges comment. How it ever made it into the finalist I will never know, but thanks! #3754036
