Overall, a good effort with lots of visual appeal. Lots of grainy nose visible, though. Some noise removal in PP, or shooting at a lower ISO could have helped. Keep an eye on your JPEG compression settings as well, the allowed size is 150k, and your file size of 95k indicates more compression than was needed. Always use the least amount of compression you can get away with and still slip under the file size limit.
Good idea, but the image looks a little noisy and pixelated, maybe you tried zooming in digitally which in this case worked against you. The droplets are sharp, but the rest of the image takes away from it
For this to work, the focus on the flower in the drop has to be very sharp. The sharp focus in the top droplet is the tree at the bottom of the drop. Also, the shot looks grainy to me. I think the reflection on the top of the drops adds to the picture, as does the almost-solid yellow background. You might run this through a purple fringe filter (it that's legal in basic).
I never tried a refraction shot like this. So I can't say too much about the blossom in focus within the drops. I give you a lot of credit to try and be as sucessful as this picture.
