winter rainbow

I understand that in order to make that rainbow (or is it a "snowbow"? ) visible, you had to darken the whole image. But I think you overdid it a bit. I would try to lighten it up and maybe play with contrast and saturation - perhaps applied locally?

This reminds me of situations where fantastic things are happening in the sky, but I'm in my car or on the ground in a location where there is just *no* good angle of view. Argh!

But... Have you considered a square crop to just below the level of the swirling clouds? I'm not sure that's stronger; just one suggestion.

I don't think I've ever seen a winter rainbow. Cool.

Sometimes, the tiny icicles in the air make up this kind of an effect. I'm not sure what exact weather conditions are necessary for it to happen...
