This is an old set of four photos stitched together from my old Canon Rebel XT. Thanks for your comments and critiques. I tried to get as much of the second rainbow as I could.

An excellent stitched rainbow pano, Ed!  I love how the trees are framed by the rainbow, as if they were in a dome.  The partial second rainbow is a nice bonus.  Well done! devil

Ed, this is very nice indeed. Timing of the event and to get the extra image takes had to a bit of a challenge. I especially like the road leading toward the "pot of gold" here......sad

How cool, a stitched double rainbow.  I like how you lined the main bow up with the trees.  Yes, photographing an entire double bow is quite the challenge in the rare event that you can actually see a complete double.  The green grass and road make a fine foreground.

It has been difficult for me to get a full rainbow pano, between distortion and not having a wide enough lens to catch both rings..  I certainly like the leading road in your image with the oaks under the arc. I wonder about trying a little tonal contrast in the sky to bring out some texture.

Nice job positioning the rainbow in this landscape, especially with the road as well as the trees.  It's hard enough capturing an entire rainbow;  putting it in a good composition makes it more than just capturing the colors, and getting even part of the second 'bow is icing on the cake.
