This is a great shot! After spending a lot of time reviewing it, I am not certain that the rainbow really helps it that much. There are enough elements in the image that may well help it stand on its own. A return visit when the sun is low in the sky to enhance the warmth along with the patch of green creates an amazing contrast.. Nevertheless, who am I to question the picture of the day. All the best with your great photography...

Thank you for your comments. This was the first time I was able to capture a full rainbow within a nice and clean landscape.

Like I said.... a great shot!

Beautiful capture of rainbow lensing over almost abstract landscape. Congratulations!

Thank you Ralph! :)

I think the rainbow helps a lot. Otherwise, while it's a good landscape, there's nothing in the distance to grab the eye. The rainbow adds the 'wow' factor and elevates the shot. So a good landscape that the rainbow really helps to sell.

Thank you! I appreciate your input.

It is not a landscape, it's a rainbow. In any case, would you not say that the rainbow qualifies as something in the distance to grab the eye?

It would probably look the same from either side.

Mauro, possibly the best rainbow image I can recall see online to date, for sure here on Fstopper I was curios so I did a quick search for rainbow Palouse WA and guess what came up:

Most rainbows I’ve seen their arches are much higher, I can’t remember see a rainbow like this, if ever!
