I really like this image because it's so subtle. I like the very natural and perfect color saturation. The single water drop, soft focus, and the way the yellow fills the frame are all very, very nice.

The lighting here is beautiful. The flower looks very soft and silky, almost makes me want to touch it. :) The droplet adds just enough to hold interest. :)
