Amazing effect! It reminds me of some of Pat Steir's paintings because the water droplets look like little flecks of paint. I love how the light and the flying droplets make the picture look so alive.

@dYe: Thank you. This was a time-consuming project. The effort to capture only reflections on a brightly sunlit object required a paradigm shift in my entire approach to photography. This catch-basin is only properly lit for a small portion of sunny days in summer, and stands about seven feet off the ground. The logistics (both optical and physical,) became progressively more challenging from there.
