The rainbow's colours aren't obvious, at least on my monitor.
Maybe a shorter exposure would have brought them out better?

You see a scene, it attracts you and the difficulty really kicks in when you try to transfer that sense of pleasure to film. Digital has an advantage here because yyou can see straight away what you have captured.
The problem here is that nothing is really sharp and there isn't any focal point to grab our eye.
The eye selects, because we only see what we want to see, but the camera does not and it gets it all. My advice is simplify. Decide what the subject is and go for that, excluding anything that is not relevant to the image. Choose a main subject, start of by placing it on a "third" and initially follow the rules of composition.
Later on, work around those rules and learn how to discard them when appropriate - many great images break rules, which are only guidelines for us to start with. The guidelines do work a lot of the time though.
