Default Twin Drops

Hello, apparently this photo taken by me has enjoyed some success on Flickr, but to me it doesn't look all that great, with the gray and rainy day around here in South Florida today I might go out and try to improve on the shot, just not too sure on how I should go about doing that. So please all C &C very welcome!

Thanks! Here I am waiting for it to rain again so I can go out and shoot some more water droplets. For some darn reason rain droplets always look better than man-made droplets. Thanks again!

Very nice drops. It is just a shame that on the front drop on the top right of the drop it isn't very christal clear.

See where i live, we have had too much rain. Ironically we are in the middle of one of the worst draughts out nation has ever seen. yet almost the entire east coast is flooded....

Only in Australia can that happen

The out-of-focus background helps to accent the reflections. It is a good use of depth of field.

this shot is freakin' awesome. I wish I could do stuff like that! I love that you can see the reflection in the drop. I guess that's no big deal to everyone else but I find it facinating. Is there anyway you can improve your background. Not sure what it would do, but maybe if you have something other than just a greenish grey smoke in the BG it might change the whole things. Then again, it could just destroy it!
