Nice Steve, normally I dont care for sidelight, but in this case it really brings out the water droplets. Nice and sharp. Comp is attractive.

I am a great advocate of side and back lighting Steve as it provides modelling to the subject. This is illustrated very well here - lovely image!!

The blue in the drop among all the orange really makes this for me. Very nicely done.
