It's amazing how a simple image like this one of dewdrops on leaves can convey concepts and meanings beyond what is actually seen.
For me this photo speaks of nature, freshness, purity, renewal and a few others, while interest and a certain dynamism is achieved by the use of strong diagonals.
Sometimes isolating just a couple of elements to make a composition can be more powerful than a complicated picture featuring many points of interest.
That's one of the things that makes macro photography so appealing in certain situations, as you're forced to focus on a very narrow field of view, creating a scene containing very few elements.
