When I first saw the grit I thought it was an insect.
Cropping too tightly on the main drop gave me pixelation ~ not enough resolving power, need true macro lens. But I think the composition draws the eye to the subject element.
So, cropped with a little curves adjustment and a couple of passes of USM.

Pretty - might have been even more effective without those foreground drops - on the less is more proposition. Don't get a strong sense of texture from it, but its a good image nevertheless.

+ There are textures visible. I like the natural colours and the small spot in the bubble has its appeal in some strange kind of way.
- Photo could use more DOF (this is especially noticable on the bubble in front).
