Default Droplets of Life- critique

So, hello dere everyone.
I went out on a forest adventure today, and, Surprisingly.. I couldn't go in the forest for long.. HOWEVER, while in said forest, I got a decent photograph.

What I want to know is..
Do you like the title? does it suit my photograph?
Do you like how the focus is on the water droplets in the sun? as apposed to the flower?
And, do you think there is enough flow through the piece? ( which is my greatest concern)

Keep in mind, I will not do any PP on it, however, I would LOVE to know your opinion on what I could have done better while in the moment of photographing it.

***also know, this is a low res. version of the picture.***

It is a pretty neat photo, that’s for sure. I also like the concept of the focus being on the drop instead of the flower. It is different and it works.

You isolated your subject but did it to the point that I cannot tell where this thing is attached to. It feels as if it is floating amongst the bushes behind it. I know this is probably the best light on the water drop so you were forced to go where the light was but it would be nice to see some sort of stem that led your eye to the flower and water drop.

Since your greatest concern is flow, I will leave it at that. Over all, I really like the idea.

Haha, thank you. Yes, now that I'm looking at it, I can see what you mean about it floating. but also like you said. it was just about the only angle i could work. haha, to be honest, there were thorn bushes everywhere D:
haha. Though I'm thinking I might go back to the area and see If it is possible for me to get a simular, or better shot.
