My jaw literally dropped when I saw this... 
As always with your dandelion droplets this work has great vision. I know that setting up a shot like this takes far more than anyone would guess if they have not tried it. You've thought through what you wanted very thoroughly and then executed it to perfection.
For originality I've given you 4.5
Technique and Impact both are 5
I love the blue/green/bokeh background and it truly does make the droplet appear like the Earth. Your focus and depth of field, as always, are perfect.
As to suggestions, I'm wondering how the shot would look if you'd included the full width of the seed's tendrils with perhaps a tiny bit of space either side or them, or if the seed stem had been on a 'Rule of Thirds' line, or even on a slight angle - would these things have given a more artistic feel? However, the droplet is the focus, and zooming out from that would reduce its impact. Perhaps they are just suggestions to try for future shots?
This is a beautifully interesting shot and I find myself really drawn to investigating every shape and colour in the droplet. Also, the apparent shine around the outer edge, suggesting almost a pure ice quality to the droplet is very beautiful.
I think you also deserve extra points for sharing your methods so openly and providing such a thorough tutorial for everyone. Bravo!
