This will not do well because it doesn't evoke "Texture" in the strictest sense. It also "has a really distracting bright area in the upper left that my eye is drawn to." I put this in the frame so that you would be drawn away from the main subject, creating tension.
Tension scores around 5.2 on this site, if you're lucky.

This image is dominated by the background; I think for this particular challenge, more of a focus on the actual leaves would have been appropriate, because the texture is hard to ascertain from this.
