*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A rather dull image that partially meets the challenge.

There's no denying that your position is high and therefore from above in terms of altitude but the cloud has obscured the view that would have given us the scene that enables us to experience being above within the context of the frame. As it is, we do not have a strong focal point and I agree with your commenter that the blue of the distant sky draws us away from the feint arc of subdued colour we have in the foreground.

You have a surprisingly large DOF given your choice of maximum aperture, I assume you were at the 24mm end of your lens. It's very unfortunate after all that effort you put into choosing and driving out to and scaling this location only to have the weather conditions working against you as they have here, but there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, thanks for your submission, Sid

Arresting arc of color within all that fog and clouds. The patch of blue sky keeps pulling my attention away from the rainbow, though.
