The Marshall's isn't double, but it's a much nicer image.

And the guy needs a more efficient image stabilizer ;) ;) ;)

Apparently all rainbows are actually double rainbows, it's just that the outer one is always a lot weaker and therefore often not visible.

There was a double one visible on the occasion I shot that in, but it was weak and didn't add anything to the composition anyway!

Cheers,

I actually take that as a compliment ;)

Aside from the frustrating memories of updating drivers that it conjures up, I love the windows XP shot and the feel of it. It was chosen for a good reason IMO.
