LCV, out of focus, noise and underexposed. What product or idea would this image sell?

I agree. When doing stock keep one thing in mind. A good stock shot is one that will help sell and promote a product, concept or idea. Just taking pictures will not often be enough.

It's just a BLOB of Blur. Can you see that?

If you're going to do a shot of a single water droplet, make it the main part of the image, in other words, a lot closer (like below). But first I'd find a droplet on a more attractive object & background.

It looks like you shot with the 200mm wide open (5.6). Probably the sweet spot on the lens is f-8 to f-11. There may be a back focus problem with this lens. And at 200mm (actually 320mm on this Canon) your tripod must be rock-solid.
