Sticky tape refraction

Hi,

I used clear packing sticky tape which i taped between 2 glasses and then sprayed the tape with a fine mist spray bottle, underneath the tape I placed an orange gerbera, lit the flower with a small LED light and shot this. Shooting with tape was a good experience but I prefer glass as it needs less cleanup in post getting rid of debris and other things that may stick to the tape, you can still see some in the final image. Stacked image of 24 shots. Enjoy šŸ˜€

Try to place the subject between crossed polarizing filters (one attached to the lens, the other behind the subject) to see if something different appears...
I've tried cross polarisation on crystals and plastics but never on droplets, would be a cool experiment, thanks for the suggestion šŸ‘
