Thanks to Lanndonkane for the idea. took about 30-40 outtakes to get it about right, unfortunately you can't see the droplet falling so it isn't amazing. but i hope it gets a 5.5+

I'm happy it's a PB but i was hoping to get a 6 in which i didn't :( Anyways someone asked me how i did this shot well here it is nice and brief:
Simply took a blue background (bristol board cheap stuff) and then took 2 small house lamps and laid them in front of a table to illuminate the background. Also put tissues over one of them to diffuse the glow a bit. The smoke in the water that created a nice movement for the fish, was actually unintentional as the water flow that hit the glass made that. Anywho i'm still wishing for that 6.
This is fun. Hope you share your setup. Clever use of smoke to simulate water movement? Or is that some powder on the water surface that's getting worked down with the water flow? Hmmm. The "fish" looks strange, like it's wearing a dunce cap of something? Anyway...good luck in the challenge.
Great idea but there is not enough contrast between the background and the glass. Perhaps a patterned background out of focus would have worked better.
