It's twice the luck. That's a fabulous capture. Who has ever captured a half rainbow shot!?

@Behrooz: Now that you mention it, I can't say I have seen half of one before! Thanks Behrooz!
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
Love the title but agree with Behrooz! A really crackin' shot Sidonie. Wonderful idea and very well captured.

I would say that this is quite rare to see half a rainbow... well done!

Well! I've seen rainbows that tail off to nothing halfway or so - but this takes the cake - looks like someone sawed it off clean! Saw a documentary about the drought in OZ, a couple of weeks ago, so the fountain is surprising! I guess it is worse in some places than others! Anyway, your photo is a great idea for the theme and a great shot :-)

EXCELLENT Sidonie! Marvelous image - fabulous capture! Was there a pot of gold at the end???

Cool capture - it does look funny as a half rainbow but I guess half good fortune is better than none. Nice start to the series.

Sweeet. Nice work capturing this and it has a sense of humour associated with it and the title. Cool

Love the rainbow and it's juxtaposition with the fountain. Refreshing feeling!

Looks like someone found the pot of gold on one side. Best look on the other. What a startling shot - a great way to show off your water. Thanks for your help in making this theme a success, Sidonie!
