Hi!
Cool image.
I don't know what editing software do you have, but my first attempt would be in Lightroom using the adjustment brush. I'd increase the exposure a tiny bit and probably push up the vibrance/saturation, then trace over the rainbow...

Try the Hue/Saturation/Luminosity adjustments. Bumping the saturation and luminosity may help you get the look you want.

Hi jdepould and thank you. I tried your suggestion but I do not have LR or Photo Shop, and the program I have focuses on the whole picture. Guess I need to invest in LR
Thanks again, if I get it fixed somehow I'll repost.

Don't know if the photo below i edited in PS is better...



I made a new layer, masked the portions outside the rainbow and adjusted contrast. Hope you don't mind my editing and posting of your photo. I can delete it if need be.
