I dont claim that this is an award winner but it can illustrate how thinking photograph rather than snapshot can make a difference. We had taken cover from a drenching rainstorm which lasted over an hour. When it ended I walked to the beach, the camera still under cover. I spotted the resulting rainbow over the water and qucikly went for my camera. Returning to the beach the rainbow had already started to fade.
I wanted more than just another pretty snapshotof a rainbow so I positioned myself where I could use the palm and the structure as a frame. I made several exposures, looking for maximum saturation of the colors. Of necessety the shost were made quickly, shot from the hip, so to speak. The point is that the thought process was in work to attain the best possible result, quickly.
On the computer the photo was cropped, then saturation increased. The results I belive are pleasing. Folowling this link you can find many rainbow pictures which were snapped as pretty rainbow pictures. https://www.weather.com/outlook/photo/keywords?keywords=rainbow
