Angel, mermaid, or something else?

Head in the Clouds Amherst follower, Barb Hahn,shared this beautiful photo she took earlier this week, and I just had to pass it along.

What does it look like to you?
Barb sees an angel, and her friend says it looks like a mermaid with flowing hair. I’m seeing soft, feathery cirrocumulus high up in the atmosphere.
Cirrocumulus clouds often form in winter when moist air rises high into the cold upper levels of the atmosphere, where supercooled water droplets gather into tiny ripples and cloudlets before freezing into ice crystals.
Now I’m curious -- angel, mermaid… or something else entirely?
(And thank you for sharing, Barb - we always love seeing the clouds through other people's lenses!)
