This is a water droplet on a green leaf. There is a flower in the background that is reflected in the water drop.

Pertinent Technical Details
This image was taken with an Olympus 60MM Macro lens. Due to the limited light. I used an ISO of 1250. It was shot at 1/160 @ f/7.1 . The focal length was 60mm
The water drop and its lensing of the flower behind feels very much like an eye, staring at me. Getting the drop the right distance from the flower behind to make this happen is a challenge that you’ve met well. I think your pano crop fits the shape of the flower nicely. BTW, the optical effect here is refraction, not reflection.
This is a great example of squeezing a whole flower into a single waterdrop!
Very nice colors and composition!
The brighter spot along the blade of grass near the waterdrop has already been addressed, but I agree it would be better without it there. Of course that’s just my opinion.
Roger: Mark beat me to it noting this is a refraction. Us optics guys can get prickly You caught a great little lens here and I like your comp a lot. The little hot spot doesn’t bother me. Well seen and very nicely captured. >=))>
