Thanks 
Some of the color is in the lighting. I hit the background with a purple flash and the "drop" with a plain white flash from the side. And the water is green.

What lens do you use to do these? do you have a macro lens or do you use a zoom lens? I am interested in improving my macro shots and figuring out where to start

For this shot I used a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM with macro extension tubes, don't know which one but I guess the 31mm. It's a good way to get macro shots without a macro lens. The drawback is the shallow focus distance.
Since then I've got a real macro lens, a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro and it really kicks ass!

Thank you
I used two color filters on the same flash. I have a bunch of lee filters from a sample book like this one [link]

Ooh! This one is real pretty. I love the combination of green and purple! The splash itself is also very cool. It kind of looks like a mushroom. The green is infact very suiting for that view o_O

Oh! Thank you so much
I think a lot of these drop collision shots have a rather mushroom-like shape... but what to name them... ooh the agony of coming up with new names

Hm, you're just about right in that. However this one specifically looks like a mushroom. It's beautiful!
Haha, yeaah about that. I often sit here half ripping my hair out going like.. TITLE?!??!? TIIITLLE?! NEEED A TITLLE.. but what.. Title?

Lets make a deal. Next submission from us both (Unless it's a special piece. I'm gonna submit Forever Alone Part 2 tomorrow I think, but dont want to do that with that piece), we'll just open a lexicon, and randomly put our finger on 4 words, and that'll be our title! : D

I think my latest submission got a rather random name "Ahoy Pearl - Mind the heavy controller"
I just pick some words from titles on youtube.. and put them in a sentence-like order
