Looks normal to me! I've seen three against a dark sky before now. A third one is likely there, but too faint to see on your photo. Have you noticed how the outer one has colours in inverse order to the inner one? Nice that.

you've got five rainbows there at least! :thumbsup: three inside and one outside.
Notice how the sky is darker between the main and outer bow too!

Nice shot!

Nice :)
Funny how it describes triple rainbows as impossible as I've seen them on several occasions. Probably have photos somewhere.
