I'm about to enter a physics photography contest and i thought of a picture that I think I took of an iridescent cloud.
but since I was hesitant about the cloud being an iridescent, I wanted to ask wether anyone can confirm it.

it was around 11AM if that matters and the cloud was like ~20 degrees from the sun.
here is another shot

Amir, I think you have a gorgeous circumhorizon arc.

That's really a lovely, lovely shot!

Here's a very fine display of iridescence.

So is that a 22ยบ halo with the circumhorizon arc?
