Well, in the first place, yours hasn't got a context!. The other is placed in a fairly attractive landscape, yours is part of a rainbow with bits of distracting trees, bushes etc!. secondly, your rainbow hasn't got the intensity and contrast of the other!. Yes, this might be down to photoshop (personally, I think not), but it might simply be that it was more intense and contrasty!. There isn't a Standard Rainbow!. It's a natural event!. Some are weak and some are strong!. Pay attention to your framing and composition, and wait for a good one to come along (or move to the West Highlands of Scotland)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you keep posting this question, and i hate to tell you this, but you're not doing anything wrong, it's just not that great a photo, and by that, I don't mean you did something wrong, it's just not that appealing as a subject!. There are many reasons your picture doesn't look like the other one!. For example, the other person was using better camera, better lenses, filters, and technique, not to mention a much more interesting scene!. Don't take any of this personally, you can't help it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well theyre different rainbows, in different places!.!.!.i think!?!?!? but i like the one you took, if you want it to look like the second one, make sure you get in the scenery on the ground!. And it is sunnier in the second photo!. :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
