Wonderful shot, quite unusual. A rainbow with a human element to give it perspective.

    Must have used a fast shutter speed...last time I was in Great Britain the sun was out for only 7 minutes one day for the whole trip...

    gee, I don't know... it just doesn't look convincing... like maybe it's a composite of more than one image?

    I think it's real. The angle of the sun looks right (judging by the shadow cast by the bridge the shooter is standing on).

    I've seen similar rainbows in my life, and they do look spectacular and unreal!
