2nd: Mother Nature's Touch of Color by M. Scott Cole

Only Mother Nature could have added this unique touch of color!
As we were eating dinner my wife called my attention to this scene, I knew I couldn't deprive the competition of this entry. Perhaps the "Pot of Gold" truly is on Wall Street in lower Manhattan.
Updated to tweak overall contrast and saturation outside the rainbow.

G'day Scott,
Didn't you make a comment somewhere along the way about seeing this scene years ago, then me announcing the theme at the right time for this shot to reappear? I'm glad I allowed this to happen (it's the first rainbow I've ever produced right on cue ;o)).
You've produced a great pic with a natural pot of gold. Sometimesm timing and opportunity are everything, right? Well in this case you nailed the framing too. I also like your processing to bring that pot of gold to life more (I seem to remember the buildings being more hidden in haze and indistinct than in your update here).
Cheers, John

very good natural touch of color, but hmhm I think it should be rotared a bit clockwise.
