Cook River in flood upstream
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 14 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural.
The same river as yesterday the photo doesn't do it justice. The rainbow was beautiful but didn't come out the photo very well. There was a blanket of mist coming off the river
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

I thinks its fabulous J! Wonderful composition and the hint of the rainbow is how it should be as they are so elusive and difficult to catch. Great shot:-))

Seeing in person is always the best thing, but this gives to us a wonderful impression about
the place. and this piece of a rainbow is extra bonus!

Super shot showing the river's great power. I must say that even more than the river, I love those clouds. Aren't they spectacular? I like how they tilt down to the left, as well. Thanks for sharing these amazing shots.
