Raindrops on Leaves

After a big rain, I found this gem of a shot. The rain drops had adhered to the edges of the clover leaves, creating an awe-inspiring visual effect.

Shutter speed: 1/800 s
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 800

Any comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks for looking and all feedback!

Stephanie:
Great find. Like the clear separation between the fg and the nice bokeh in the bg. The image is a little soft though. A slight rotation of the camera to frame the main leave diagonally would be more interesting.

Interesting shot Stephanie, great collection of raindrops. Your loosing some detail at the top of the leaf, a little higher f stop would have helped with that as long as it didn't mess up your great BG. Also, a little sharpening would really make the detail in this image "pop" out. Nice capture.
