I came across this by accident, and tried to reshoot a perfect shot for four days.
I got other nice photos but always came right back to this one.Even with imperfections,it is still my favorite shot.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Knew it wasn't good enough before submission, but I fell in love with this one over all the 400 other shots I took.
The stubborn streak in me decided to enter it still, even knowing the imperfections.
In deleting the others today, I am no longer blinded and see shots which would have better appreciated.
Way too funny !LOL!

this is a good entry that meets the challenge well. Only real problem is its out of focus. And a tighter crop putting the droplets at thirds would lead the eye from the leaf to the droplet.

good concept for a shallow dof shot - but the image appears to lack from any sharp focus anywhere

This feels fairy-like to me, perhaps try with the subject a little more in focus for more pow! factor.

This is a really neat shot, although focus seems a bit soft.

I like the point that I think you are making. Frustrated with water droplet shots? I like, though it's not quite sharp on the droplets that are the main subject, and I think they may be too centered.

nice !

The focus doesnnt look sharp enough for the type of picture you were trying to take.
Also a closer zoom or crop would have helped.

Looks a bit overprocessed.

Something about the exposure isn't right. Too much glare coming off the light reflections. Could do with a bit of sharpening too, the drops look soft to me. Still, great subject and perfect studies for challenges like these.
