For the moment, the precise location of sun ray reflection is not yet analysed... To see her other rainbow photos for same evening, look at here.Update (11th Aug 2009):
There is another gallery existing of the reflection rainbow, in same date and location, taken by Sami Luoma-Pukkila.

Very nice photos Marja!
Photo nr 6 and 7 on your site seem to show a larger portion of the reflection bow, although it is blurred and faint...
Congratulations!

I looked Marja's photos again. Indeed, the is a diffuse bow structure visible at photo #6, on the left side of the bow. I did not notice it earler... Is it diffuse due to imperfections on mirror, i.e. some ripples and waves on water surface ? To me it looks like straigth line, instead of curved one. Is this the part of bow you meant, Pascal ?
The short reflection bow section the two last photos (#9 and #10) seems pretty much sharp. I assume water surface has been more calm then...
Anyway, this was a good catch, Marja !
Thanks for the posting and comments. :) This was a first time ever I saw a reflection rainbow. And just ten minutes before it, I was saying to my friend how brilliant it would be to see one some day.
About photos 6 and 7... I looked at those after taking, but I was then sure it's just rain or shadow from the clouds. Didn't even think about the possibility for reflection rainbow.

Yes, Timo, I meant that part on the left of the bow...
But after reflection (one more ;-) ), I think it is only an illusion. My mistake...
It is the wrong angle for a reflection rainbow, if you compare with photos 9 and 10, which are taken later (the reflection would have an initial angle to the left, instead of to the right). And I don't think it can be a shadow, because it would point towards the "antisolar point", the center of the rainbow...
I tried to enhance the contrast and colors, but without better result.
Contrats again for your first reflection bow, Marja!:) Which you could catch some more (if the pics are taken from you home, you should be able to catch some more!)
