Beautiful shot. Obviously being in the right place at the right time helps but you framed the rainbow very well. The scan looks pretty good too. I do not think the dark foreground hurts the photo at all. It brings the focus the viewers attention to the rainbow and the hills. I agree that cropping to a semi-panorama would improve the shot but that would effect the printing options.
