Thanks tv and Britt.
tv, this is a drop of water splashed in a shallow container. An external flash, placed to right was used as the light source. You can actually see the flash refection in the drop. I tried various shutter/aperture combinaton (had stay within 1/250s due to the flash sync)...this combination turned out to be the best in terms of the amount of light captured and sharpness. Placed a magazine, Car&Driver (with a red Mustang on the cover...I think) under the shallow glass container to get some interesting color/pattern. It was a fun experiment.

Nifty shot, but and incredible that 1/160 second could freeze the splash, or is it glass? ...or did a strobe freeze the movement. Anyway nicely done. -tv
