I am definitely no droplet experienced but.

Background should be clean and have 1 base color in order not to distract
The droplet could be sharper
The reflection of the droplet ought to be entirely inside the composition
Could possibly use a little more space on right side for the wave on the water surface
The yellow looks maybe a bit harsh (flash result)?

I will let the real droplet experts tell more on the light usage and flash vs no flash etcetera...

Good to see you experiment.

Nice capture but the background is distracting.

Totally agree with moser
But I think it's a very good first try!

Did it myself a while ago, and it's pretty hard!

I haven't even dared to make these shots! One day...

Very cool first try! I agree with Patrick about the tech issues.

nice yellow. definitely need a cleaner background. I think for next time, try not to cut off the reflection.

Good 1st try.
Fun to do and they get better with every try.

nice 1st try!

you should use a higher angle - this will remove the bg witch is way to busy and cast reflections on the surface.
Reduce the light - better reflections, slow shutter speed for a nice effect
compose better - make sure everythig fits the frame and nothing is cut of
better focous - use something in the center of the surface to lock focous and then turn to MF.

keep experimenting
