CONGRATS ON THE TOP SPOT, NEVER A DOUBT.

Stunning and a very deserving winner. My only question is why this only scored 76%!?! I would love to know what it takes to get a properly high score on this site!

And congrats for another first place!

Way to take all three places! Now that's impressive.

Breathtaking

Okay with a reflector or from under the tank?

With mirrors!

Very cool. I like the lighting and colors. It almost looks like some kind of outer space shot.

oh i forgot...

great, what appature did you use. I just can't get these drop photos.

Thank you so much, Aperture was f/22 !

I just can say congrats for this work. Nice colors, perfect moment, good DOF,......

Hi Author can I ask how high is your dropper? when I try this I cant get the water coming down to hit the water going up. Thanks nice photo

Hi, It was about 16" or 40cm above the suface, out of 1500-2000 shots i got maybe 2 or 3 like this.

simply wonderful...would not know how to begin something like this

Silence is my comment.

awesome shot.

Very cool!

Amazing!!!!!!
I will try one today...or 2000 to get one....ha ha ...or none....It will be difficult I think .."collision of a falling and a rising droplet"....hmmmmm.... Thanks for information and good luck to you!

Author, do you have the exif info for this shot, something as good as this would make a superb subject as a tutorial, for those of us who aspire to learn the techniques required to shoot pics like this.

Outstanding... beautiful shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

simply stunning! fantastic work

I wish I had a camera that could do these kinds of pics... Awesome entry! Definitely one of the best I've seen. The colors are what makes it for me. You don't need it, but good luck!

Congrats for yor first place, Marksquirrel! Your work is really amazing!

Not surprised a bit to see this win. I would love to pick your brain sometime... or at least find out what kind of equipment you use. Congradulations!

Very pretty

stunning

beautiful landscape, lovely color.

beautiful

wonderfull colors

And even congrats for your second place!

Thank you, this is wonderfull and 150% on theme. it is obvious that there must have been glass here, but you can't see it at all, and the peppers and waterspray are crystal clear. This one will be hard to beat.

Marvelous entry!

awesome........

wonderful shot

outstang shot!!!!

Awesome!!! i thought I might have a chance at this contest until I saw this one...great job!!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Great shot... but I'm pretty sure I've seen this before and not in this contest.

Seen it before - but great shot anyway

this is perfect for the theme!! And a great shot and imagination too. I've seen this before somewhere.

No arguments here. Definitely on theme, although I know who you are from a previous contest: "collisions"

Absolutely Amazing Art......Beautiful work....Perfect on theme.....GL..

no, you saw one very similar, I remember it too........the pepper was a different color.

You are right ade. But I checked and it was not the collisions contest.

Being recognised by style is incredibly flatering. Thank you all for the great comments.

fantastic entry

Great work. High marks.

Aaaaaaand congrats for another first place, Mark!

Yup, I knew it. Congrats!

oh WOW!
