We've all seen them before. A rainbow is an arc of light separated into bands of color (parallel stripes) that appear when the Sun's rays are refracted and reflected by drops of mist or rain. The colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These are the full spectrum of colors that make up the sun's white light. They can also be created artificially, using a prism.
Enter your most artistic photo of a rainbow or rainbows. They must be REAL rainbows! Pictures of rainbow flags, clothes, etc. are off theme, however prisms or other objects that split light, are not. If you can stage it, do it! Anything goes so long as the rainbow is the main focus.

but I did manage to catch a dragonfly in front of the rainbow which I didn't notice until I checked it on screen. A bit of a bonus as they say dragonflies are the indicators ofthe wet season approaching in the tropics.
GREAT shot. Love the dragonfly - what a lucky catch!

Thanks Kyricom - I nearly binned this shot but saw the dragonfly and kept it. I thought that even though it's such a tiny element of the picture it really helps make it
might consider cropping that a bit more closely. You could get rid of all the man-made stuff at the edges and have a pretty impressive landscape (might keep the small buildings in the distance at the bottom)
