Default Wet Green Leaf

I'm still a newbie and wanted to try out some macro. I was wondering if I could get a critique on composition? In PP I have balanced levels and enlarged and cropped.

Camera GENERAL IMAGING CO. X5
Exposure 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture f/3.0
Focal Length 4.9 mm
ISO Speed 80

Wet Green Leaf

Composition is nice, you have got a nice blurred background there. Perhaps the only improvement I would suggest would be to try and take a shot like this on a brighter day or to introduce some artificial light to it... that way the droplets would stand out a lot more. Saying that I do like the reflection in the droplets.

I like how you can see a reflection in the water droplets.
