Hi Sara, this has worked well, you have caught the water droplet well with the reflection of the Stripy background. Plus choosing a large aperture has put the background out of focus so that it does not distract your eye from the main subject.

Thanks for all your comments. I do agree with the hair comment and I will clone it out. I think sometimes when I look at something to often I miss things. I wonder if I could re-submit the picture once I've done it?

Best way to do it is to post a reply and include the new pic as an attachment so it's all in the same thread.
You will have to resize it though as there's a limit on image size of attachements 800 Pix's along the longest side should do....
