Greetings from the critique club...
Let me start by saying I like this shot a lot. I like the fact that it's an abstract, but not so much that you can't figure out what it is. There's just enough detail showing on the smaller leaves to hold my attention. It's crisp ... sharp ... well done.
I don't particularly like the leaf on the right. It's partially in focus and partial out of focus which makes it a bit distracting, and I don't think it needs to be there anyway. Just leaving that area blank would have been OK I think.
Normally I would say that the eye is drawn to the brightest part of an image, which in this case is the background and not the subject, but it works here because of the silhouette you've created.
Great Job!
