...how? I have looked and looked at this... how in the world did you get a drop to float on top of water? Or am I seeing it wrong? This is a great shot... well done.

No, you're not seeing it wrong. I've gotten many similar questions on a different photo I did where a drop was also floating on top the water. The answer is luck and repetition. Originally, I was trying for a classic droplet photo with drops of water in the air in a straight line and ripples at the bottom. But I kept messing stuff up like focus, distance from the dropper to the water, and other things that cause the drop to not do what I was hoping. And on several of these mistakes, I caught the drop landing on the water just before it dissolved back into it's original source. This is one of those shots. I hope that answered your question.

Yes, it did answer my question. I totally need to try something like this, just to see if I can do it. Thanks for answering me... was driving me gonzo.

As some extra advice, if you do end up trying this out I would highly recommend you get some decent lighting like a speed light. If you don't have the money for one of those though, I'm sure you could get away with a bright desk lamp. More light = faster shutter speed = less motion blur.
