I'm not an expert on splash shots/heck, i'm not even an amateur ;) but a couple of things strike me.

One--See if you can light more from the side...possibly by bouncing your flash of of a white posterboard. I may be wrong but it looks like the flash is straight on. More side lighting will give a pleasing dimension to your shadows. Also looks as if it could have been bumped in exposure a bit.

I do like the series of bubbles radiating around the top of the lime. With just a touch more focus the picture would really pop! I think these shots are harder than they first appear. mark

I think a splash shot needs to show the suface of the water and the splash. This looks more like the lime is suspended in the water.

Nice try, but for these to work well the focus needs to be razor sharp.

The color here is a bit "dull". Focus on the front water drops is good. Maybe increase your DOF a bit. Bump the contrast a touch and this might pop a bit more. Nice job getting the shot!
