thanks CJ, sue anne, and Markjay.
The shot was side-lit with off camera 550EX flash, set to stroboscopic mode, that's why 1/60sec could catch the droplets! :)
This was one of a series of shots with/without the fork and/or cherry tomato; original reason I introduced the fork was it was almost impossible otherwise to focus on the droplets. in another challenge you may recall a similar shot I took with a knife tip in the water stream. Here, without the fork the tomato would have fallen into the sink :-)
To be honest I'm not entirely happy with the result and I've been meaning to try again with my SLR and extension tubes, and some other objects. thanks for the comments! - b.c.

You caught the light really nicely in the falling water drops but IMHO (*) the fork distracts from the submect and the wonderful water drops! I know how tough thse shots can be so under the circumstances, you did a great job! Markjay

I like this water shot and the reflecting drops

Fun colorful shot b.c.! I'm surprised you could get the water drops like this at 1/60s! Nice! CJ
