Default First snow melts to a morning Dew

Melting

I took this picture yesterday morning with my Sony a100 using a Sigma 28-80mm macro lens (1:2 magnification)
EXIF:
Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/10.0
Focal Length 80 mm
ISO Speed 400
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash On, Fired

Post Processing work:

Didn't do too much to this picture. I brightened it up and fixed the WB a little bit, used noise reduction, and added a darkened vignette to bring focus to the center of the photo.

1) I wasn't really too sure if I wanted to leave the crop how it is, or zoom in more to show off the detail of the ice crystals and dew drops. I liked the composition as it was already, so it difficult to choose. How do you guys see it?
2) Do you think editing it another way would have brought out details more or made the photo more appealing?
3) Do you feel the movement in the photo is distracting? Or do you think it adds to the appeal (by movement, I mean that of your eyes across the image)?
4) Is my watermark a decent size and shape? Do you think I should be more creative than "S/M Photos" (SM=my initials)? Is it in a distracting spot? Should it be MORE distracting?

EDIT: Here's a link to the "Large" size on Flickr. I think seeing it a bit bigger helps with this picture since it's so full of detail

Thank you in advance for your replies

I can say you have an eye of a photographer. You capture this dew so perfectly beautiful. I love the angle.
