Greetings from the Critique Club
I think trying to do a drop of any kind is challenging, so kudos to you for giving it a go. However, this is a rather over done subject on DPC and as such, it would need to REALLY stand out to score well.
I believe this suffers quite a lot from a technical perspective. The composition could be improved by not having the drop so centered. A little to the left or right would work better and could be achieved in photoshop, although it would be better in camera.
The image could do with being sharper. Based on the Exif data you chose 1/250, so it should be a bit sharper than it is. Did you use a tripod? (You state that you used 1/4000, but the exif data in the image itself does not show that, so I am wondering what happened here?) Incidentally, the file size is really small at 82kb, so likely you are losing detail when resizing. Have you tried resizing using Save for Web? This is probably the preferred way of saving images for use on DPC as it gives slightly larger file sizes without reducing the quality.
So, I believe the primary reason for the low score relates to subject matter combined with the technical issues.
Keep practicing and you may be the next  IreneM
