A remarkable phenomenon to behold and a great capture of it. The colors are outstanding and the sailboat could not be better. It looks to me as though it could be rotated enough to straighten the horizon without clipping the rainbow but it certainly would be close and compromise this excellent composition.

A easy on the eye shot and a wish I was there, the horizon and shore line, the full spectrum of colour, wonderful shot. Like the yacht framed by the rainbow.

My pleasure.

Oh so lovely an image, I wonder if the passengers were aware that they were under the rainbow. Perfect framing, depth of field, lighting and focus. Wonderful shot.

I love rainbows and yet to capture one over the water. This is a great photo. I like that the boat is going under it. Wonder if they found the pot of gold? I like the colors and the brightness of the rainbow on the one end. Beautiful peaceful day it seems. Thanks for sharing.

This is deserving of a six but I don't have any! I hope you will accept this cyber six Fred, this is stunning! Super clarity and amazing colors, I can just imagine being on that boat and seeing the rainbow from their perspective too! Wonderful composition, focus, dof, exposure and framing!;)

How lucky you were, been in right place at the right time. You used the perfect theme song to illustrate it. Imagine the view of the rainbow form the boat, it must be impressive. Great shot!!

Did you know that you have a double rainbow? This is just gorgeous. What appropriate artist notes to go with such beauty. Colors are amazing and lighting and focus are all beautiful. Glad you did not straighten out to lose some of the rainbow. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! What a cool find!! That rainbow perfectly framed the sailboat! Nice, level horizon line (of course!) And I like that bit of a diagonal slash of the beach. Nice focus and DOF too.

Comment from jaguarXFR
I think the horizon is quite level and the surf and horizon giving a slight parallelogram effect. The focus, DOF are sharp giving some nice colour and detail across the frame. You can see the rain in the background behind the boat and the rainbow.
A well taken image.

Overall it is a wonderful composition. You caught the boat and rainbow just right. The colors of the waters and sky compliment each other. Only thing that I see that could use a little improvement is the focus. On my screen, it seems the sailboat is a bit out of focus. Other than that, very nice image. Thanks for sharing.
