 This was actually taken while the challenge was open for entries - didn't even need the archival option.

After two nights of backpacking, we woke up to yet another incredible day in the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Spectacle Lake lived up its name over and over!

As we were eating breakfast, this rainbow appeared, leaving our mouths hanging open.

What else could I do but get out my phone and take this shot?

How often do you get an end-to-end rainbow with a beautiful foreground? Jealous!
