    I prefer the first version as the colors seem a bit more natural to me. Good job getting all the droplets in focus. The shadow on the bottom half is a bit distracting IMO.

    Kostas, I also prefer the OP and like you and Adrian, I find the shadow a bit distracting. I don't know of any way to remove it cleanly so see if you can shoot it again, maybe as a diagonal comp. It's something think I think is worthwhile to revisit.

    Hi Kostas. All the in-focus water drops and the backlighting make for a very interesting image. Good job on the background. Here's another vote against the shadow of the leaf - for my taste, its one thing too many in the comp (I guess that's another way of saying that I find it distracting :) ). It would be difficult to remove in PP, so your best bet may be to try and reshoot - either from a different angle or by physically removing the leaf.
