Default Digital Water

Hi,

Here's a shot of a few water droplets on an old laptop screen. I shot it in the dark with an extended exposure and used a moving LED as my light source. Minimal work in Photoshop (just adjust levels, didn't tweak color or anything.) This shot is heavily cropped from the original image, so it looks a little soft to me. My question: Is it so soft that the image isn't any good, or is the lack of crispness still acceptable in this case? Any additional critiques are welcome. Thanks a lot!

I think it works. Is this full size of the crop? The only thing about the softness that gets me is the slight lack of definition of the pixels in the water drop. If that makes sense.
