Photographer's Note
The late afternoon weather was not too kind though and this was one of those rare moments and a very much an opportunistic shot and something to cheer up when suddenly the sun made a very brief appearance when this rainbow appeared across the mighty Mekong River. Unfortunately it was too close to get a full frame but counted myself very lucky to have caught this.
It was one of the most vivid rainbow I have ever seen however, the beautiful play of nature did not last very long when it disappeared within minutes later. I guess sometimes you're in the right place at the right time. You've got to admit it, that Mother Nature knows what she's doing......
Shooting Location:
Chroy Changvar slum colony, on a bank of Bassac river just outside Phnom Penh city centre.

Bonjour Abmdsudi
J'adore cette composition. Un magnifique cadrage vertical qui utilise ΰ merveille les deux bateaux qui poussent le regard vers l'horizon et l'arc en ciel. Les couleurs sont sublimes.

Abmdsudi, how fortunate that you were in this spot at this moment, and that you had the imagination to capture this particular image. I just love the two boats, with the "masts", against the sky. Even beyond the rainbow, the colors are really beautiful.
I'm sure you've seen this, but if not, the story of how Ansel Adams came to take the image "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" is the best story I've heard about recognizing that you were in the right place at the right time. You can find it on the web.
Thanks,
Roger

Hello Abmdsudi.
An impressive composition, for his great POV with boats in the foreground and sky anthology, which has its peak, in that wonderful colorful rainbow so intense, I think I never saw him like ....
Very good handling of brightness and sharpness, the colors are delicious.
Nicely done. I like
You enjoy a good day.
Best wishes.

Hello Abmdsudi,
The remarkable rainbow is very well matched by the green and orange light slightly above the horizon. The light clouds also adorn the evening sky and the boats in the foreground put the photo in a cultural context. The boat further out on the river is a fine detail.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Abmdsudi,
The small boats make an interesting foreground while the thin anchor piles point well to that beautiful sky. Of course that remarkable rainbow is an eyecatcher but also the clouds and the colours in the sky look so beautiful.
A very well composed picture with the eye to the natural beauty far away and high above us.
Best regards, Paul

Pozdrav.
Lep pogled i trenutak, interesantan i dobar tekst ...
Lepo pokazani ribarski camci na obali reke, oblaci i duga lepih boja, dobra ostrina, kontrast i perspektiva.
Dobra kompozicija, lepo uhvacen trenutak sa dugom i oblacima koji dolaze i donose kisu.
Sve najbolje, srecno.

Hi Abmdsudi,
I have never seen a phenomenon like this. The rainbow seems quite bright indeed. It has also appeared in a perfect spot here. You were really lucky to be in such a great place at this very moment.
This could have been a fantastic composition even without being so originally decorated. The boats make fantastic foreground and the sky is spectacular.
Excellent work!

Even this small slice of the rainbow is beautiful and you are very lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I've been chasing rainbows this monsoon season but not very successful. The vertical format worked well with the composition with good details and amazingly different but awesome colors. Well done, tfs.

Hello Abmdsudi,
this scene is really spectacular and fascinating. I've never seen a rainbow so close over my head and against such a rich blue colour in the sky. The light and warm colours in the distance add pleasant warmth to the atmosphere as well as interest. The boats make for a strong foreground. The special light of the moment and the bright rainbow influence the mood of the scene in an overwhelming way. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hello
beautiful exultation of colours.
The contrast between the blue of the sky, the grey of the clouds and the orange of the sunset is fantastic.
The Rainbow with its gaudy colous enriches the scene giving a tuch of romanticism.
This is really well done with a good shot.

You really caught the best of what man and Mother Nature has to offer. A stunning perspective, well-judged vertical frame and superb colours. The rainbow is the icing on the cake. Sorry for the brevity of my critique, I'm experiencing so many technical problems writing critiques on this site.
