I have always been interested in this type of photography. Here is my first attempt. i know its not half as good as alot of the images you see online. I was quiet impressed with the final result.

The second one's a nice clean image.

 

The first one could be improved by:

1. Using greater depth of field to get the top of the splash in focus

2. Avoiding the bright white rectangle top centre which is distracting

3. Avoiding the faint discs of light - could be dust/tiny water droplets on the lens.

 

For the clean advertising-type splash image you need studio conditions with white and black reflectors to control the highlights precisely and eliminate unwanted reflections of the surroundings. See
