This shot was taken using the super macro setting on my camera, the background is Christmas gift wrapping paper, the normal editing procedures were used on this with the exception of some touch up to remove glare from the drop itself.

Fun shot! That little star is just the right touch! Super depth of field. Perhaps oversharpened or something? There seems to be some digital noise around your edges. Nice work!
Imaginative and interesting! I love the warm colors, and the dof is great for emphasizing your droplet. Not sure what all is reflected in the drop, but I can certainly see the star and some other visually interesting lines and angles. I might have favored a narrower crop on this - there seems to be SO much space around the drop. Nevertheless, I find it quite visually engaging. 9
Just when I'm thinking that water drop shots are becoming cliche, here is an image that takes it to the next level. The noisy, completely unfocused background forces attention to the mini-image in the water drop. Nicely done.
