A Puzzling Polygon

Photo date: December 7, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see one of the strange objects I call orb veils (this one had a width of several inches).  This orb veil has three of the typical characteristics of these mysterious things: spiky points at the outer edges, a membrane-like thing around the outer edges (as shown in these 14 photos), and a pair of concentric rings within the object (as shown in these 10 photos). On top of the orb veil is one of the equally strange crescent-shaped objects I frequently photograph (which often appear outside of these orb veils).
