Quite a bit of effort to get this (still slightly out of focus), but when I have time, I'm going to try another few ways ...

Also done with my bridge - so not too shabby I thought ...

Trust me when I say it is perfectly in focus .. just scrunching it up to this size makes it look a little odd - oh and don't mention phallic, cause it looks like that too

That was with my sony camera - also a desk-lamp lighting the bowl from one side and my off camera flash on the other side - that is how I could go up to F10 and still get 1/4000th of a second shutter speed.

I found using a cork to hold in the water when you focus is useful - then just try make a splash where the cork was.
