Nice subject, but I would have opted for a vertical shot.

beautiful clear photo. Maybe framed a tad tight around top of bud.

Thank you Jenny and Luca.G for your comments and suggestions. While it is true that I should have opted for the vertical framing, I also wanted to keep the layers of green the provide the depth to the left. I was also dazzeled by the bubble inside the droplet as being part of the composition. Tough decission.
Thank you again.
