I love the shapes and colors. Can you tell us your set up and how you got the reflection?

Thanks. The setup is a little involved... but I'll give it my best shot. I am using a Stop Shot to control everything, including an electronically controlled valve. This shot was set up using 3 consecutive drops. The liquid in the marriotte siphon was blue colored water thickened with Guar Gum. The water in the drop tank was purple colored water with Jet Dry added. The tank is a custom built 1" deep 24" x 12". For lighting this shot I used 4 Yongnuo YN-560 strobes all fired together by the Stop Shot using PC Cords. 2 of the strobes were on the sides of the tank at roughly 3 & 9 o'clock. There were 2 additional strobes mounted above the tank pointed down. All strobes were set to 1/64th power. If you have any other questions, please let me know... I'll try my best to answer.

The reflection is simply accomplished by camera placement (angle to the surface of the water).

That is some set up! Your efforts produced excellent results!
