What does this need?

Very interesting and unique shot. The picture reads well from left to right. Problem lies with the yellow/orange rectangle in the background. You have composed a sideways triangle that points the eyes into the center of the frame. This is a good thing except when the eyes get to the end of the foliage the rectangle distracts the eyes and competes too much with the nice water droplets.
If needed, have some stan in the background with a black sheet to cover the rectangle.

I agree -- very cool.

Since Tom covered things very well, I'll just add one other suggestion: the focus seems to be a little bit off (at least, as far as I can tell with the highly compressed version here on the forum). I love the sense of action and motion, but I think that some of the leaves farther back are in focus, as opposed to the ones in the foreground (or near the edge of the plant). It's a minor detail, but one which makes my eyes go a little bit buggy.

But, overall -- very cool. I love the idea, please keep it up.

i agree. Better still if you can get the water in focus as well, right?

Good work, very interesting.
