Photographed this right after the beginning of the water drop collision. I used a Cuban flag because of the vibrant colors as my bg and bounced 2 strobes off a white foam core placed in the back of the dripping tray.
MIII - f/16 - 0.5 sec - ISO 500 - 180mm - Manual Mode - Tripod - flash output 1/64
I cleaned up a couple of stragglers in pp.
Thanks for looking.

Hey Susan,
I don't think people can appreciate how difficult getting those bold colors in the water really is! The Cuban flag really comes through there and the little star in the drop puts this one over the top! You are the queen of the water drops!

Susan, this is an amazing image! All that detail and color painted on water as still as glass makes for a stunning presentation. The light angle is remarkable as well. Excellent work!

Susan,
This is brilliant! (Nicki, is it OK for a Yankee to use brilliant in this context?:))
Truly OOTB creativity. The only thing I could offer is a crop suggestion.
I love symmetry. That said, I feel a little off the left, with a tad more room at the top would make this an even stronger image.
I've been motivated to give this a try!
