That is awesome! I love the reflection in the rain drop, it is very clear. Depth of field is perfect.

I like the green and the light color of the stem. The water drop seems to be overexposed at the tip, but maybe that is just my perception because of the darker portion. I will bump this up because of that. The composition seems to have a lot a negative space that isn't needed. The reason I feel that way is because the stem is pointing to the left and the space is to the right. It would seem to be more needed on the left.

Nice use of thirds and DOF. The cool reflections on the drop make me wish for a closer shot of it...
