Pure Water Yields Puzzling Photos

Photo date: January 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  The first one shows a bunch of orbs in a water drop. The one on the left corner deserves a close-up.

Here is that closeup of the top left corner. You might call this little guy "Mr. Rainbow Face."

The same day I got this photo of what I call an orb veil. This one was quite big, with a height of about 6 inches. Note the yellow crescent shape and the blue crescent shapes in the water drop above the orb veil.

It is actually rare for me to get one of these orb veils with a shape like this. I far more often photograph them appearing as strange polygons, as shown in this composite visual, and the photo below from December 26, 2015.
