its easy! well not really.
you place a flower behind the drop and move it till you get good reflection. then shoot 8 frames each focused on slightly different depths into the drop and then combine them in focus stacking software.

Fantastic! I've wanted to try this (and focus stacking) for, uh, longer than I'd like to admit but frankly it intimidates me.

I'll just look at your shot.

Nice shot Phil. Good contrasting colours between the leaf and the flower as well.
