I´m going on without a rating since it´s already been done.
tried out my new speedlite 430 EX II with this little funny project. unfortunately it turned out the same shit as last time. I just cant manage to focus the glass and the later on splashes with my camera. and I barely recognize where to focus lays with the pretty small viewfinder of my 1000D. any tricks and tips on how to get really crisp and sharp splashes of water? it´s really frustrating, since 99% of the shots were focused on the black background, which was leather textured, and not the actual object ( the splashes ). this one is the only decent one, but only due to sharpening in photoshop >.<

What i recommend doing is placing a pen or a ruler on top of the cup in the middle. Either AF or MF onto the pen, once focus is achieved.. put the lens on MF. Set aperture on f/6.3- f/8~ and shoot away.
