I don't think this fits the challenge well. It is a bit of a strech. Perhaps had you been able to focus on one in particular that was spherical shaped...?
I do like the image however the contrasting black against the bright yellow works for me, some might thing it is a bit bright but I like that.

I think the best part of this photo is the collection of those five things (I don't know what they're called) that come from the centre of the flower. It seems to me that some of the water droplets are more in focus than that is. It kind of draws the attention away from the.... power point of the shot I'm afraid to say.
Great composition, though. And I count water drops as spheres!
