The colours and toning here are sublime and illustrate freshness and the whole 'it's just rained' feel perfectly. You've achieved a lovely bokeh here.
I like the way the focus is alonng virtually the same plane as the edge of the leaf, it lends more depth to the shot and you were fortunate to catch so many droplets in focus. I maybe would have tried it at f/8 or so also, perhaps to get the droplet on the underside slightly more in focus also.
The cropping I'm not as sure of, the bottom of the leaf seems a little tight to the frame for my tastes.
Overall, pretty awesome stuff and a DD well deserved.
The focus on the droplets is wonderfully crisp and clear, each little drop like a bead of shimmering crystal, infused with pale blue. Even the parts that are not in focus add to the shot, those background globules of water adding a lovely mist of glimmering light...
I would just say that perhaps the lighting is a little too bright in places, like on the left part of the leaf? It makes it a little difficult for my eyes to see some of the detail on that side. However, I must say that it makes an interestingly bold contrast with the deep blue hues of the background- so perhaps it is a good thing, after all!
A lovely shot, indeed!
