—Field of Rainbows [Copyeditor’s Make Mistake’s Sometime’s] (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)
The caption should read “photographer’s shadow.” The mistake doesn’t come close to overshadowing the power of this great photo.

Oh this makes me sad… It’s such a nice picture just trying to make a play on “Field of Dreams,” I think, but rather poorly since, as Dr. A says, there’s only one rainbow… unless there’s one we can’t see.
Apostrophes are a big deal. Most wars are based on ownership… I wouldn’t be surprised if an apostrophe starts a war someday (if it hasn’t already). That would make a great book… (maybe one I’ll have to write! :)
Great photo. Good catch. (Moreover, shouldn’t it be “Field of Rainbows” (capital R)? Or just “Rainbow” (singular)?)
