Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.
After seeing a huge rainbow outside my house window, I gathered up my brother and his girlfriend for this shot. They didn't have time to change into any fancy clothing, it was a cold day hence why they are wearing what they are.
Perhaps I could have got them to pose differently for this shot changing the dynamics of the photo to make it more interesting.
Leaving for Canada in a weeks time, going to miss home!

Something oddly poignant about this. 8

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This images has compelling elements on a number levels. At the centre, a great shadow capture, then outwards an engaging portrait, then outwards we go and we see the wider environment context of the house and then finally comes the rainbow. I like that radial nature of your composition. Most of all though, I like the light.

Critical stuff: I think this could be tweaked clockwise just a touch, though perhaps you wanted to avoid the resampling.

Overall: A great moment to catch - both meterologically and on a human level. Highly interesting.

Love the rainbow. The people in this IMO takes away/competes for my attention in the picture...they seem to be more of the focus than the rainbow.
