I think you need to post a larger image and tighter crop to be able to show off the image in the water droplets

Yup i agreed with u troy...crop at the droplet and u get free fish eye effect

[dannyfoxy]

ok, here come again.

[TroyP]

Looks much better IMO, but maybe want to improve the composition. There's a green patch behind the left droplet.

[dannyfoxy]

use higer aperture??

[TroyP]

Nope, just remove the obstruction in the background. I presume that's part of the plant?

[dannyfoxy]

can't, the plant is far away hanging in the air on 8th floor.
I have to stretch my camera from 9th floor to take this shoot.

[TroyP]

You can always make your own water droplets. Drip some water on the plant or use a spray bottle until the tiny droplets build up to the size you want
I will probably take a spray bottle on my next outing

#1 was using 18-180mm zoom to 180mm keep the lens close and find the right angle to see the reflection.

#2 was using 50mm with aperture of 2.0f, WB6000, key is find the right angles.
