Is the image too dark? – Maybe, but there is a strong diagonal, below which there is a homogeneous distribution of droplets. I personally like dark images, they make the viewer study the image more. The top of the image has the vertical stream and the leaves, but overall is very dark.
I like the choice to include the bee and leaves. It took me a long time understand that I was looking at a stream of water plunging into a pool. I think a higher shutter speed and more light could help make the fluid effects more visible.
I really like the composition of this image! The lighter section occupies the lower section of the image under a strong diagonal, and the upper portion remains obscured except for a few splashes of color.
I love the contrast between the bright colors of the leaves against the dark background. It looks to me like the leaves are floating off into an abyss.
I love the bee included in the image, s/he adds an element of interaction and reminds us that the physics of the flow is a real-world phenomenon. In response to your question about the lighting, I think the overall lighting is compelling but I would recommend playing with different aperture sizes and adding artificial lighting to avoid the graininess present throughout the picture introduced by a high ISO setting.

The cool light makes the image look as if it were taken in the moonlight nice job.

I really love the hues of the colors of the bee and the leaves. They are very complimentary and aesthetically pleasing.
I like the lighting effect on the pebbles in the fountain. The bright balls are a nice contrast to the dark background.
