T answer question, it's carefully controlled strobe lighting that freezes the drops. See

IreneM's portfolio for examples (click on her name).

You might be able to start by studying the portfolio of

IreneM. She is fantastic with drop shots. Many others here are good at them as well, but Irene is synonymous with this type of photo. There was also a side challenge a couple of months ago where some of us that had never done a drop shot before attempted it You might be able to learn something from those discussions.

Skilled cloning and layer work is my best assumption, though I think that answer may not contain the specifics you were looking for.

It does look like the same picture. Is it an overlay? (I haven't played with those yet...)

I think what Chitvan is asking is how did they make two different colored images from the same single image.

There are multiple ways of achieving this. Open your photo in Photoshop and create an adjustment layer. It could be a hue/satruation adjustment layer, levels, Channel Mixer, Color Balance, vibrance, Solid color overlay adjustments. I would just google how to's on adjustment layers.

That is exactly what that is. An image overlay. It's just an OOF image laid over the original water drop image then they lowered the opacity and created a layer mask so they can paint away the area's where they didn't want the over laid image to cover.

I think that was it. When overlaid, it is obvious that is what you did. BTW, those are good drop shots, especially for being done with an A570. Though you have not achieved what you were ultimately after, I'd say your efforts have been very successful.
