Thank you for the comments. This shot was 90% about the bokeh effect with the dew from this perspective. The dew drops on the far left and right edges are the only real focal points, and not that sharp either. The poor (rushed) desaturation, visible mainly on the far left 'blade' and the black tip on the blade of grass left of centre (which I didn't notice in my 'rush') were the major 'flaws' for me in this. Otherwise it was about both the perspective (angle) as well as the perspective and effect of dew captured through a lens using the morning light to create this 'effect'. I liked it anyway - flaws aside.
For those interested, an edited version:
