Rains in Mumbai - 2

Rain Gods have once again allowed me to take a better capture of the water splash. This time around I got ample time to experiment, get a better focus and get the more important light factor correct. Also, it was the first time I used a higher ISO. The ISO was set to 200. I used the shutter priority mode and had set shutter speed to 1/200. Although it was raining, the lights seemed to be decent enough to not get a very dark picture. Of course I had to enhance the light a bit using Photoshop. However, I loved the overall result. The only doubt I have is about the grains. My computer's monitor I believe doesn't catch the grains that often appear in the picture due to a higher ISO setting. If you notice the grains, do let me know. I must say, the rains in Mumbai have never been so much fun before.
I would love and really appreciate if you could share your experiences about picturing a water splash.
