Feather-like Orb Veils

Photo date: August 30, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark background. In the first photo, we see a feather-like object, an example of what I call an orb veil. To the left of it are some mysterious things I call orb crescents.

On the same day I saw a very similar feather-like object appear in two different photos, which are shown below.

We can almost seem to see a strange dark face underneath the first of these feather shapes. The face isn't very clear, but we can seem to see a white eye with a blue pupil.
