Critique Club:

You have a good eye. The blue reflecting in these very red drips looks quite nice, and could make for a really nice photo. The main problem here has already been pointed out in your other comments. The focus seems off. You used a shallow DoF for focus people's attention on the blue drops, which is good, but it still doesnt look sharp enough in that area. Is this a full size crop from the original? If so, then that would explain it. You could try resizing the photo down a little and adding a border so it doesn't look too small. Then you could use USM to make it sharper.

The composition is very centered. I think placing the blue drop on one of the Third lines would improve it a little.

The photo also looks a little bit noisy, which can be easily sorted out with NeatImage.

Overall, I think with a little more post-processing, this would make a very nice photo.

Could be more interesting and in better focus.

I am not sure what this picture is trying to convey or what the exact focus point is supposed to be on. Sorry if I missed the point.
Looks a little noisy. Good luck.

Interesting shot, but it seems out of focus.
