Water Splash 2D

I feel that I struggled to make my first water splash animation look good and natural. I think this is because the timing is okay but the water splash it self is too much together making it look like monster with tentacles instead of water. I'm more used to animating characters and that requires things to keep there form. Therefore animating this gave me a new challenge of making something that is more fluid and random. I need to practice animating elemental effects like water in 2d.
