Looks like the image could be a bit sharper, and there aren't enough points of interest to create the "gotcha" effect.

The title really adds a lot. Had to look twice to see what it really was.

Thanks to everybody for voting and commenting! Everybody who remarked the out-of-focus blade was right: I simply didn't dare to touch the subject or move in fear of falling of the drops!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The focus on this shot could have been a bit better, though I am not familiar with your camera so perhaps it could not have been with your equipment. This was a spectacular find, but if you could have just gotten it a bit sharper, it would have helped tremendously.

I also think I don't see the need for all the negative space at the bottom of this photo. I would have cropped a bit tighter and used the fully 640 height to show the detail in the droplet.

Happy shooting and good luck!

Love the reflections in the main drop. Nice leaf forms. You must be very pleased with the outcome.

Excellent picture, but how it relates to the specific challenge is not clear. Had to score it much lower than it deserves as a picture per se.

Lovely demonstration of proportion - the different sizes of the drops of water, with the largest one pushing its boundaries. Nice color saturation. I find the out of focus blade in the foreground a little distracting to the overall composition. Very nice ... gives me a soothing feeling.

I really like the color and the compositiion. The choice of focus works good for me as well. It does look to be a bit over sharpened however. In any case I really like this image.
