To capture crown you have to take the shot exactly when droplet is hitting water surface. Your pic is taken after that moment. You just have to practice :D
Only thing I can say is follow how the droplet moves. In short time you will learn how long it takes to hit the surface, then start shooting.
Of course you have to compensate shutter lag. Otherwise you will be too late.
Many people takes 500 shots when they shoot water droplets but I dont really understant why as it is fairly easy to get 60-70% spot on timing wise.
Practice and post your results :)
