Cool shot! My best guess is that you captured just a small piece of a rainbow probably made from a very small band of precipitation. This lines up well with the fact that stratocumulus clouds produce such small bands of precip, and those are what are being illuminated. The raindrops that formed this bow are also non-uniformly spherical as there is no evidence of any supernumerary banding next to the blue. It appears as though the sun was probably to your back maybe over your right shoulder a little to suggest the anti-solar point was to the left of the shot which makes sense to the angle at which the colors are banked towards. I am also thinking based on the angle of the bow, the sun had to have been pretty low in the sky when you took this, as the angle of inclination looks to be rather significant for a rainbow, probably around 30 or 40 degrees.
Long story short, cool shot! I'd be curious to see the original too! I'm a meteorology undergrad so atmospheric photography is kind of my thing. Kudos! |

| THis is really magnificent, but I think you should've cropped about 5 cm from the top, but that won't change the score for you, I still really love it. |
