Nice classic water drop shot. The bokeh, colour and exposure are perfect (not ssurprising with a 77mm in good hands). The water drop seems a little strange though. The light of the rest of the image seems to have that "cloudy day" look but the water drop is very bright. Did you sharpen the picture? The drop just looks like is has blown highlights that sharpening can do. Might just be the resizing though

The picture was taken yesterday at the botanic garden. The reflection on the drop came from outside the window and the weather was very bad. Here is the original file, no pp just resized:

Beautiful shot, I love the composition. The edge of the leaf leads your eye through the shot nicely and the drop is super.

Well that's great I guess the water just caught the clouds or sky light. Well captured. I bet the orginal looks fantastic.

Really nice, one of the best bokeh surroundings I have seen!

Interesting shot well captured, and as others have said, good bokeh.

Amazing shot, love it. It's hard to tell if the water drop is reflecting the sky or if it's that the water isn't actually making full contact with the leaf due to the silky surface and the bonds between the water molecules with a spacing trapped between the leaf and itself, perhaps both.
