I like the lighting but the water is a little boring

Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting clear container on a mirror? Direct some light to the side to color the darkest area. Place a colorful image in front. Your water can only pick up its surroundings.

Note: when Saralonde added the EXIF to your first posting of this photo, she did it to also help Critiquers see immediately how you shot this. A link works, but every added move away from your thread a member makes, means they must try to remember your info between moves, when it's such an easy thing for you to type in your original post. Your part in this is to at least take 30 seconds to complete the information. We're each going to invest our time in reading, contemplating a Critique, and typing it as clearly and completely as we can.
