hereforenow, it is all a matter of taste. I love Shinjuku and think it looks spectacular. Yes, and I am a 10 minute nice walk to Takashimaya. I can see it from my balcony. Just the type of scenery for me!
Agreed, the rainbow is spectacular. But the photo would be a lot more impressive if the surrounding scenery were better looking. Something other than Tokyo drab.
This rainbow was very bright and persistent, so not hard to capture. Also I can't remember the last time I saw one in Tokyo, and so judging by the number of people I saw stop and photograph it, it was pretty special.
That's odd. When I saw the rainbow from my balcony here in Shinjuku, it definitely came down at Tokyo Tower, not west of the Docomo tower. Rainbows are strange.

I'm sorry I missed that one. I've seen only a couple of rainbows in all my over 20 years here.

Funny thing that rainbow was also over the rainbow bridge, funny how rainbows move depending on your position :)

Great photograph Mr. Hartsell! A picture like this is harder to take than it looks - and it's not all software editing either.
