A close-up macro photograph of a single water droplet resting delicately on the edge of a pinkish-purple leaf. The droplet is sharply focused, revealing its smooth, glass-like surface and subtle reflections, while the surrounding leaf and background remain softly blurred in shades of pink, green, and violet.
