Hi Kat, I see you still have a sharpness problem. I guess you just forgot the last sharpen step, or else didn't sharpen enough.
I took your pic, opened with MS PictureIt, applied USM (with standard setting "sharpen more") and saved again (JPEG quality 96 % to keep in the 200Kb limit).
I posted the result as a WS.

The sharpness is only in a part of the picture, that's a pity, it is not easy to get it in a total, I know, practise and practise......I like the green and the marbles of glass rolling on the leafs, the idea is there, Kathleen

Kathleen, you are like me, nature just blows your whistle!!! These are so beautiful.
Refreshing , I like it..
Hello Kathleen,
a nice raindroppy again. They look like gems on a green seashore, wonderful. I also like that beside the simplicity of this image, you used diagonal motifs.
The waterdrops are beautiful with your sensitivity. The illumination is very good and reflect perfectly the shapes of the drops. Good job!

Kate, this is wonderful! The droplets look like little life forms congregating for some big event. The colors are so vivid, too.
If you have Photoshop, you might try unsharp mask rather than sharpening. That would sharpen the edges of the droplets without creating the fine dotted effect that sharpening can produce. Microsoft's site has a good article regarding sharpening digital images; even if you don't use Windows, the principles apply.

Maybe you lose sharpness or "luster" in the uploading. Sometimes that happens. This is agreat shot and reminds me of how I wish rain droplets would bead on the hood of my car due to a new wax job! There is something fascinating about raindrops, isn't it?
