This is so perfect that I thought about asking you if you added the rainbow. Did you really take it from a moving cruise ship? I'm glad you used f/16 and a fast shutter speed.
Obviously, I love this image.   Posted: 09/09/2022 11:15:04

This is a terrific shot. The rainbow is arching over the focus of your shot, the bridge in the center. The lighting is so good that you can see points of interest on both sides of the bridge, including the Sydney Opera House on the left. Everything is in focus and the clouds are great.   Posted: 09/11/2022 18:58:12

Excellent photo. Balanced exposure. I would have cropped a tad more from the bottom though.   Posted: 09/11/2022 20:50:27

One of those WOW moments when you feel so relieved that you had your camera at hand! A top shot David, perhaps Pinaki has a point regarding a possible trim from the base?   Posted: 09/22/2022 16:07:21
