Beautiful shot. The only thing I would change (very minor) is crop off the thickness of your pinky (sideways) on the right and a bit more off the bottom. I think you have to make the right leaf a bit more insignificant by giving the left leaf a little more take over space. Does that make sense? I ALWAYS pay attention to where the eye goes to first, second, third (I don't think more than 3 points of strong interest is usually a good idea - confuses the viewer too much IMHO). On this one the larger leaf didn't quite pull me in enough (visually dominate - but not too much, it's a delicate balance) so you have to make the other one less eye catching, or less significant. A great shot though - one for your future book... Don't laugh, might happen.......
