First of all, this is a nice attempt to capture the splash of colored liquid with white background.
In my opinion, there are two problems here:
1. Underexposure
2. Inadequate freezing of the splash
The major cause for these two problems could be lack of light. I see that you have used ISO 200 for compensating that. Also, Aperture could also be increased to f/3.2 (u hv used 6.3). But still that would not have been sufficient to use shutter speed of atleast 1/125s. Because second problem is bcos of the slow shutter speed (u hv used 1/15s).
So, my suggestion to overcome the above mentioned problems is:
1. Provide adequate lighting (or keep the setup near window / in balcony during noon time)
2. Shutter priority with a shutter speed of 1/125s or faster.
(Not sure, but also try and see if a black background works better)
Take at look at the photograph in the below link.

Sameer & Meghana,
I liked your picture it does give the feel of a flow. I also felt it fitted the theme.
I'm obviously not an expert like Raj, but in my personal opinion I didn't think the light is insufficient.
Sammer / Meghana,
Nice experiment with my favourite subject - wine glass.
I have to agree with Raj, the picture doesn't meet the theme - "Freeze the Motion". 1/15s is too slow shutter speed to freeze the flow of the water and that's what gave water a flowing affect. Actually, it may have worked well with week # 2 theme - "Slow Shutter Speed". The lighting is kind of flat. You can use second light source as desk lamp or light reflected from wall or white card board.
Thanks everyone for your feedback! This experiment was a very good exercise and we did use the most lighted area in house with white foam boards to reflect light. Good to see that team has high expectations from us :) and we will try to improve with every experience. Thanks again!
Nice attempt to catch the flow...to a normal eye you have managed to freeze the motion..
