With a water droplet light passes through a clear fluid. The point of entry is usually a pin point highlight. The light passes through the water until it meets a solid it cannot pass through in this case a leaf. It is reflected back which gives the lighter reflected light at the bottom of the water droplet.
Even though the water droplet is clear it will still cast a shadow, which is darker than the leaf colour or the colour that the water droplet takes on through its transparency.
With the horse's eye light again passes through the eye and light reflects back which is why on the opposite side of the eye from the highlight there is the lighter area of reflected light.
Eyes are surrounded by upper and lower lids. The upper lid will often cast a shadow over the upper part of the eyeball, and the lower lid will depending on the light source have a slight cast shadow from the eyeball.
I will post both of these small studies at a later date when they are completed.
