That's what it actually looked like. Not originally like that off the camera though....

I think of editing color intensity as finishing what I started when I took the picture. Since the sensor doesn't see colors and light exactly the way our eyes do, it really is just finishing the job.

What a sight!
And yes, I see what you mean about bringing back via post processing what your eyes saw but the sensor couldn't.
Although I find these colours a VERY intense ... was it really this saturated in nature or does your personal impression of the beauty of this rainbow come into play in your post processing work, too?

Very saturated rainbow, great capture.

Looks fake to me?

well composed, i don't think it looks "fake", although the colors do seem a tad overdone to me too, but you were there, you know better than any of us how it looked originally...

regardless... it's beautiful. :thumbup:

Stunning, even without the rainbow it would be a good photo, the rainbow is icing on the cake. Well composed and seen

Great Capture. Wish there were pots of gold at the end of those!
