I must say I really like photos of spider webs with droplets. I like the overall impact of your shot, you've succeeded in capturing that beautiful eeriness, and the colours are nice as well.

Now, let's take a look at some of the things that could have been done differently. Please note that this is just how I would have done it (or tried to), someone else may think my suggestions are crap <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" />. If you look at the shot, all the droplets are at about the same distance from the camera, and all of them are in focus (more or less). The center of the spider web is also at the center of your picture. I think this shot could be much more interesting if we changed that.

First, composition is important. I know it's hard to consciously think about the composition when you're shooting, but once you start you'll probably be doing it automatically quite soon. Here's an example of a similar photo, but where the composition is completely different [link] (Note that all the drops are still in focus). You can also change the composition slightly when you crop the image.

Something else you could think about is the depth of field and the focus. Take a look at this photo: [link] If you had approched the spider web from an angle like this, some of the drops would be in focus and some would be blurred out, giving the photo a sense of depth. I'm not saying this will automatically make your shots better; the only way to know is to start experimenting! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

Other than this, you might want to think a bit about the lighting. From the look of this I assume (and correct me if I'm wrong!) you've used the built-in flash, which often makes the photo look a little flat from what I've experienced. I would suggest you use natural light as much as possible (unless you have any external flashes, of course) and try to shoot when the light is good.

I hope this was at least somewhat helpful! The stars are meaningless; I don't like the system so I've just rated four stars for everything.
