This rocks. Composed well and the string of droplets being out of focus both in fore- and background really singles out the one drop.
That said, I'd have to agree with dr_rick, cropping the left to a square, leaving the very top of the curve would definitely enhance the photo. I've always loved photos that give you the impression that they continue off of the print, and leaving just the top of the curve would do that quite well.
Anyway, well done!

Greetings from the Critique Club!
A very interesting photo. I like it! It has a beautiful abstract feel, but with an element of reality that I think makes it accessible to a wider audience. Great focus and color. But let me add my vote for cropping off the left side. Yes, the curve is graceful, but really isn't essential. The "just a diagonal line" isn't boring since it isn't really the subject; it's role is just to tie the drops together and provide a context for the rest of the image. By all means, leave in the top of the curve, making a square format that I think fits the subject better than a horizontal one. |

| very sharp image! Great use of thirds. I also tried to get the front and background bokeh. LOL . It worked better for you than for me. The "picture" in the dewdrop makes the photo. Great job. |

Thanks all for great comments! I agree completely with a number of comments here that the white and dark spots in the left part are quite bit distracting. However, regarding cropping the left part out of this shot, - I thought about it, but decided against it because I loved the gentle curve of that stem. After such a cropping, it would've been just a diagonal line which is kind of boring compositionally.

| Very good shot, spot on in this challenge. I would have given it a 10 if but not for a couple of details. The dark spot up in the left corner grabs too much attention and the angle of wich you took this photo is too steep for my taste, the raindrop behind the one in focus blends too much together. Anyway, love this shot, gave it a 9. |

| This is wonderful! The darkness in the upper left corner pulled my eye at first, but it's one of my top top choices - 10 |

| Now I have to look up "hekobokeh" to figure out what it means. Nice image, too. Great focus. Looks like the drops are frozen. Has this image been rotate 180 degrees? |

| True bokeh. Bright spot lower left is an eyetrap. |
