The Story Behind This Shot

A vivid rainbow dropping into a field of sunflowers near Denver International Airport, Colorado, under a dark storm sky, with the flower heads turned away from the camera. A shallow depth of field softens the blooms in front so the rainbow does the talking. Summer storms roll across the plains most August evenings, and the trick is being in the right field when the sun comes back out. A colorful, hopeful print with a little magic in it.
