Description Miraval Cabardès, Aude, France

It was taken in the late afternoon, as I had the sun in my back, which was going down quickly and about to disapear behind a mountain.
Horizontality of the rays provided the rainbow for a few minutes.
I didn't have time to install the tripod so it was taken hand-held, with no possibility to get closer, because of the river under.
The polarizing filter permitted me to catch the rainbow at its maximum intensity.
Nikon D800 @ iso 400, 1/30
Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8 @ 155 mm, f/8.0
Hoya polarizing filter
Post treatment : slightly enhanced colors, played with clarity on water, local contrasts and luminosities.

J'aime bien l'aspect très dessiné de cette photographie, le petit arc en ciel est juste génial ^^

Faut faire gaffe... A sauter à pieds joints tu risques de tomber dans la rivière

What is funny is that I was very unsatisfied not to be closer, I couldn't because of a big trough and a river ... so I took a few photos, and at post-prod time I thought the branches were to be used as a kind of frame, giving a bit of mystery ...
Thank you for your encouraging words Jon !

I'm very glad you like it so, Gopesa, it was no need to make something surreal, it was surreal in itself, fugitive and beautiful ... glad too for reading a compliment about post-prod coming from a professional
Thank you !
