Crescent Orbs, Half Orbs, and Congruent "Orb Veils"

Photo date: March 24, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows mysterious anomalies produced while photographing water drops. Rather than the usual circular orbs I see when photographing water drops,  the photo shows instead "half orbs" and crescent orbs (look closely to see the crescent shapes).  The most startling feature is a pair of "orb veils," one on top of the other. Both seem to have the same distinctive shape.  See my posts labeled "orb veils" for similar photos of this weird effect.

I have several times noticed one of the features we see above in one of the orb veils-- an internal ring shape consisting of 2 concentric rings. The orb veil also has the spiky arc-like features on its edges that I often see in these orb veils.
