p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Tunnel View Double Rainbow - Revised

Thank you very much for the feedback. I have revised the original image to address the majority of comments, i.e., improved shadows, crop of the lower right shadow, etc. I believe the revised image is an improvement, but still not as good as it should be. I will continue to work on the processing - going back and trying to improve the manual blend.

Thanks again for looking and providing feedback.

Hi All -

I thought this image may of interest, despite being well known, since it includes a unique double rainbow. I found this image to be very difficult to process on several fronts - color, tone, sharpness, noise, etc. I am not completely happy, but this represents my best attempt to date.

This is my first post, so any feedback is appreciated.

Very nice light, composition, and detail captured here. I do think it needs less of a HDR look in the trees though. I think a boost in contrast, or a thick B&W edit would really look amazing due to the amount of different light going on here.

While it's a cool shot, for me the HDR look is heavy enough that it makes it look more like a drawing than it does a photograph. So for me, though I know it's real, it loses some aspect of realism. Also, that shadow in the lower right distracts since it's the only dark shadow area, the eye goes to that.

Sick shot. HDR is way too much here. Need to get those shadows closed up. Where you way off to the right at tunnel view to see the river below?? Didnt know you could see it from up there. Great catch!

Beautiful scene! I do agree with Jim and Aaron that the HDR is not beneficial to this image. Since you have the bracketed shots, I would suggest doing a manual blend. That will really make the image shine. HDR really muddies up the shadow tones, and does some really weird things that distract from the natural beauty of the scene.

Terrific capture. I agree with the others about the processing, which looks like you ran it through some sort of global process. Shadows provide the soul of a photo, especially when you have something as vibrant as rainbows to play against them. It's nice to be able to glimpse into the shadows a bit, but they don't all need to become three-quarter tones--that amount of visible detail starts to look busy. Like Ben said, try blending by hand to get finer control over the tones. Otherwise, it's a winning picture in terms of timing and composition; well worth some more effort to make it sing.

Wow. No kidding. That is so great, yet I can see how hard it would be to process. That's one to keep going back to, for sure. Good luck. I'm sure you'll get it with all the great advice here.

Crop! Trim out the shadow in the bottom right and you won't lose much of anything else. More emphasis on the rocks, rainbow, waterfall and sky. What a great image.
