I gave this an 8. Simple natural beauty 'magnified'. Who knows about 97th place. Very good spectrum capture. Good title. Taking liberty of adding to my Favorites.

One of the most beautiful captures of a rainbow I've seen. Those colors just pop.

too much processing, which likely accounts for the amount of noise present...you've gone from natural to surreal here

I adore the brilliant colors of this rainbow. Gorgeous. Unfortunately, I'm not receiving a very zen vibe from the image. I think you used the natural light very well and the focus is good, especially with the subject you chose. I like the composition, but I'd suggest cropping off about an inch and a half so that the vegetation is in a compact corner and the rainbow acts as a bit of a balance and growing out of that corner. Well.. it makes sense to me! Heh. At first I didn't like the blandness of the background (not that there was much you could do about that) but now I think it does a suitable job as foil for the bright colors. I gave a 5

Although this generates a sense of calm, there is too much detail here for my eye to be at rest. I'm drawn into the colors, the trees, those small details make it a bit busy in my opinion.
