The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
On our first trip to the Canadian Rockies we spent some time at Athabaska Falls. I got some wider views of the falls but my favorite image was this rainbow formed in the spray. >=))>
Specific Feedback
Was able to pull out some more detail with better processing skills and made some small intruding branches in the LLC disappear. AI fill does a great job of creating natural looking results.

A beautiful moment Bill with great light – I’m inclined to a tighter crop, losing the bottom quarter or more. It is already something of an abstract, without a sense of place because of framing. I say take advantage of that with a tighter crop.
Bill, the big arc of the rainbow is balanced well by the falling water. The details in the splashes show well in the larger view. I do wonder about a bit more burning-in of the brightest bits, assuming that there’s some detail there to “find”.
A sideways rainbow! How neat!! Always several ways to crop a very good image, but I like the crop as presented, with the rainbow grounded in the shaded water, which has more detail. A natural Ansel Adams edge burn. I do wonder if there is any more detail int he brightest areas – maybe with two raw conversions layered and masked? And maybe a bit more detail in the darks on the right? But that’s being very nit-picky for a wonderful capture. And bringing up the darks might spoil a very interesting feature where the bow feels like it is holding back the darks to allow the fall to be unimpeded. It almost feels like the edge of a lens or something. Or did I have too much coffee this morning…
