Also, given your explanations on the timing, I'm sure it required a good amount of work and patience :-) May I ask what hardware you used for the droplets? Some kind of micro-controller commanding a solenoid valve I suppose?

I never mentioned my dropper because what a shame I am still using the old fashion method. I still wonder if it worth upgrading to DIY digital micro controller like you said. Especially after I saw people contaminated my "Absolut fulfilling" thread like that. I guess I won't do it unless I feel so much fun doing the soldering work and electrical engineering research.

This is a class of photography that is so beyond my skills, I'm not even tempted to try. I'd just rather sit here and admire this exquisiteness. Yes, drops have been done. But so have portraits, landscapes, etc. etc. Besides, there are drops, and then there are DROPS! Although I also wish the entire ripple could be seen, it's an insignificant detail, compared to the complexity of colors you have achieved in both the subjects and their reflections, and the delicious smoothness of the green water. Simply sensational.

Somehow I missed leaving a comment on this - I think I was just overwhelmed at it's complexity and beauty.

I have never tried to do one of these because I know it's way beyond my abilities.

No matter how many times this type of photo has been done, it's like landscapes, I never grow tired of seeing how each photographer create their own unique take on the subject.

Congratulations on this masterpiece and your ribbon.

Haha great idea, but I think the bubble liquid is not good for frog's health. Unless I am lucky to find a frog with a built-in bubble. Like this one.
