I like the composition - very nice -- it looks a little dull on my screen though ...

very nice composition indeed! the placement of the droplets is fantastic. however yeah, it does look a little flat. perhaps would have been better if there was some light reflecting off the drops

Thanks for the compliments.

I might just have to give it a try with some better lighting, to see if I can get rid of the "flatness"

I appreciate the comments and your time.

Try increasing your exposure time some and dropping the ISO speed. I see a lot of what looks like artifiacting to me. Was this blown up significantly?

Thanks for the comment.

Not blown up. Not sure what you are seeing, unless it's the waterspots on the leaves. Wasn't too thrilled about them, but couldn't do much without disturbing the water droplets.

I will give an exposure touch a try.

You could probably play with levels and curves to brighten the highlights, etc. and clone out the spots you don't want ... I think you could get some improvement on this ...
