Beautiful light and rainbow. You definitely have all the ingrédients here to shoot a winner. The contrast and storm light bring wonderful detail to the ground and pine trees, the colours are beautifully saturated, the distant hill is subtely lit by mottled sunlight… I like the foreground trees with their heavy burden of cones but you should have given them more space to the left and especially to the bottom. The grass is nice and full of detail, more of that below those trees would have framed them better and added to the whole. A step to the left and the trees would no longer hide the rainbow’s pot of gold. There is also that unfortunate fence pole stuck in the ground which districts from the harmony. Next time you witness a wonder like this think about your composition and give your foreground subject the space it deserves.
