Thanks for your reaction, its golden hour light and taken at a decent reflective angle which is something most photographers are not even aware of. rainbows are only seen at certain angles to the sun.

Right, I took a black and white photography course in high school. We were the only HS in SD to have a dark room. Then I took digital photography, so we covered those concepts. Out in the Black Hills, you can achieve this kind of effect too. So if you are ever in SD, I recommend west river for some excellent shots of the Black Hills and Badlands.

Yes good to know. Myself I never took any photography classes. I am self taught and have developed certain techniques through experimentation and practice I have achieved many sought after shots by using previsualization and staging.
