Original - The key ingredients of a rainbow are (1) water droplets and (2) light. The waves of
Pacific have plenty of both. Water droplets in the ocean spray intercepted sunbeams, spreading the light into beautiful colors, creating a surfing rainbow
Reason
Good quality, high EV, adds value to the article it appears in
Comment, you recently replaced an older image of yours with this which was subsequently reverted (and called vandalism for some reason...). I'd recommend letting its usage in
Rainbow stabilize before it goes up for an FPC.

Comment don't know if it will reach consensus on the article, but personally I think the surfer distracts from the rainbow, and your
other spray bow picture you replaced seemed to have a stronger rainbow than this one.

That's right the rainbow was brighter in the other image. IMO the surfer improves the composition, but basically I decided to let go on that nomination, as well as on the article itself, and let them do as they wish. I was upset my change was called "vandalism" so unfairly, and if you add to that the absolutely ungrounded accusations in canvassing down below, you may figure out what my day was like :( Anyway...--

More likely she saw it as unusual that someone with no contribution history would immediately find his or her way to FPC. Are you an established user who had to start a new account for some reason?

why would that matter in any way? It is the picture the main business here. The most attractive part of the main page is the picture of the day... the rest is just following links, and this was the one on top when I commented. No need for conspiracy theories and it makes no difference that I am not a new user.

No offense was intended and I don't assume bad faith - but you shouldn't be surprised it's a red flag to start a new account and jump right into a forum where voting goes on.

why is it a red flag? what could it imply? If at least there were a second oppose vote but there isn't. I don't take it as an offense, it would be really hard to offend me in the web environment but I do think it should be taken as a lesson, to take a vote with cold blood and as impersonal as it should be. In the end, it is supposed to be something about the picture, in this case.
