It is indeed in all the images (for those who doubt, enhance the colour saturation in PhotoShop).

Well spotted Harald! It would be interesting to look for polarisation effects by taking dual images with a filter rotated 90º. These could be stronger and more variable towards the antisolar direction (as with the glory) than in normal iridescence.
