Thanks for the comments guys!
I'll come clean too - I used a water spray and chose my subject carefully!

Believe it or not the flare was caused by the sun actually - I made sure the sun was being reflected in the water droplet. The flash was just for fill purposes only.Love the flare in the middle from the flash!

Sorry, but the highlight has to go as it is too distracting and pulls your attention away from the detail in the water droplet.

If you mean the highlight high up on the leaf I agree John. Otherwise its a very fine image.Sorry, but the highlight has to go as it is too distracting and pulls your attention away from the detail in the water droplet.

Cheers guys. I had'nt really considered that the highlight was distracting, but now I'm more aware of it, it's a fair point.
I've removed it, and it is an improvement - great suggestion!
