Still awesome to hear those comments! I will also be sure to check your gallery.
Well, I do these with a micro controller. I use the stop shot from cognisys, which is then connected to a magnetic valve and to my camera. As lighting I use 2 off camera flashes which I place behind an acrylic glass panel with a light transmission of 45%. To get the colour I use the Lee Colour Filter Catalogue on the flashes. The fluid I use to make the collisions is a mixture of water with guar gum and a tiny shot of methylated spirits, to make the water heavier and reduce splashing. Once you get all that right, it is only a matter of experimenting with the timings of the drops and to understanding drop behaviour.
This is only a basic form I have written up to help understand the process a little. If you need anymore help figuring out what exactly to use, equipment-wise, don't hessitate to throw me a note. 
(Warning: Permanent addiction to drop collisions might arise, try at your own risk)

Yes I know what you mean, great compliments are hard to come by and are awesome when they happen.
So anyways, I'm going to go through you're gallery at some point tonight and favorite to beat hell I'm sure, you have such a stunning gallery and I also want to thank you for all the favorites, watch and llama, it's so much appreciated.
Also thank you for the wonderful advice, that is great to know and I will keep that in mind if I ever decide to get into the drop photography that I have no doubt is very addicting!
I want to write more here, but my hands are not cooperating, I just got done shoveling two drive ways, four porches, a path between two houses and a path for the dogs to poop on.. yeah I can hardly feel my hands or arms at this point.. I hate winter.
But I am going to be adding you because you're works amazing and also I'll be going through you're gallery as soon as I get feeling in my hands/arms. 
Thanks again!

Thank you, glad that you enjoyed my gallery!
I'm still working on getting around to yours, have been pretty busy on DA today.... way to many things that I had to get done and I am finally reaching the end of the list for daily tasks.
Oh yes much better, thank you.. it took a few hours to get back to normal after that and now I have to do it all over again tomorrow.
We had another snowfall today and it was not suppose to happen... but the weather forecasters are not always right.
Those are always fun too! I am looking forward to seeing them when you get around to them and yes still water but yet in a different form and so there for it will be a different kind of photo and also you can do so many different things with that type of photo, different plants, different foliage and then there are the snowflakes that are always a tricky thing to do macro of and some just can't do it (I'm one of them.) Some can do beautiful and stunning ones, I'm sure you will be in the few that can do that.
