Hey, that's a great attempt!

The only thing I see to comment is that it looks like you got focus a little to the right of the dewdrop...on the stem...

Well its not that bad (really) - it does take practice, but you will get there :-) Hope they sort your back out soon for you.

I read your tutorial. I presume the only way to get droplet and refraction in focus is by stacking?
ps this was a man made droplet - I suspect rain drops have better qualities!

Natural dewdrops are smaller and rounder so make better lenses. You can get both in focus in one shot if you are able to move the flower around a bit to hit the focus point of the drop- I just find it easier to stack them.
