This was incredibly hard to do, and I'm not completely satisfied with the results. This was my first attempt at the old drop cliche, and getting a single drop at the right moment and sharp is hard enough, never mind trying for two. I wish it was sharper.
Used a syringe (no needle) with a split toothpick stuffed in the end to get two drops. It was still tough to get two drops at once. Dropped chocolate milk into regular milk.
Used the 5T & 6T diopter adapters.

I really like this image. The colors are nice, the texture is smooth. It seems like the airborn droplets though are bit oof, and the third one touching the (?)milk detracts (for me) from the other two. But I'd love to know how to do these droplet images. This is nice.
I don't think I ever want to look at another drop shot - and I know I'm not going to vote on any. We've seen far too many of those lately in my opinion. So, even though your picture might be technically well done I'll not cast a vote...
