Usually two rainbows are not so vivid. I had not noticed the color reversal until Brian described it. Usually the second rainbow is very pale. Any way, this is beautiful. Voted.

HI Brian, Thanks for your vote. My thought is the smaller inverted rainbow is a reflection from the water below. What do you think?

Spectacular, Mark! No doubt you've noticed that the primary bow (usually at 27.5 deg elev.) has the red on the outside, whereas the secondary bow (usually at 55 deg elev.) has red on the inside of the arc. I have not seen the partial bow previously. A wonderful capture. Voted.
