First Refraction

At ISO 200, 1/8-sec at f/8, with tripod & Nikkor 105G macro lens. I'm not really sure what to expect here. I was hoping for more detail in the refracted image-- so I'm kinda disappointed. The drop seems sharp-- so what gives?

Do not focus on the drop; focus on the image within the drop.

Go to Live View, enlarge view to max (press "+" several times), manually focus on enlarged flower image, press shutter release.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot (or 20!).
