It's been said before, but I'll say it again. There have been a LOT of water drop shots here on DPC. Which means that for the people who have seen those shots, you really need to create something spectacular and out of the ordinary with these kinds of shots. It fits the challenge of minimalism, but weather we try to or not, we remember those past shots that had super clarity and awesome eye catching color. This shot does not have that.
Your focus is soft. I would like to have seen more in focus here.
The lighting is a bit dark. There is a bright vertical column to the left of the photo that competes with the water drop. I think that the water drop should be the only vertical object in your photo for this to work.
The crop is a bit too close to the left of the drop. See how you cut off the 'wave' to the left?
The little bit of blue is in an odd place. I think that it could add to the photo had it been in a more interesting location, however, with it just kind of hanging out in the backgound a bit, it now becomes distracting, since it is only close to the water drop.
I see this is your first submission on DPC, soon you will get a feel of what the voters like here. Also, you got a lot of helpful comments on this shot, some comments you can take with a grain of salt, some you should take to heart. Don't forget, you can mark comments as helpful if you find them as such. It lets the commenters know you received their comments.
