How to shoot flying / falling / splashing water

[achee]

Ok, I tried again. Here is the photo pretty much straight out of the camera:

And the edited version:

That was illuminated with two monoblocs and a speedlight. They were all on fairly low power.

Any thoughts? I think... it certainly looks a lot sharper after pp! I think it is an improvement over my previous ginger beer photos, but I think the water was moving a lot slower.

Does anyone have any tips on lighting, so that the water droplets have dark, clear outlines? Do I need more directional light, backlit?
