Fourth-order Rainbow?

I read the articles here and here with great interest.

The photograph below was taken on the 6th of May 2010 at 1900 in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, UK. I believe that I may have captured the first ever photograph of a fourth order rainbow with my Nikon D90 over a year ago.



This is a low resolution image of the original photograph. As you can see, even without enhancement, the fourth order rainbow is clearly visible. This is a crop of the centre of the image above to better show the fourth-order rainbow.

This image has been edited to increase contrast and colour saturation.
