This is my EFFORT to capture a drop of water splashing down. You wouldn't believe how much stuff I went through trying to get this! I didn't have a colorful bowl, so I was putting everything from Jelly Beans, to pictures I printed into the bowl to add color! I finally achieved this color by laying a DVD in the bottom of the bowl with the media side facing up. Light and water create beautiful colors on a DVD's surface. :) I've seen a lot of people do better, but this will have to do for me. :)
