Welcome to DPC. Congratulations on your first challenge entry.
To sumarise the comments below the shot is over-exposed. This means that the combination of your aperture, shutter-speed and ISO let too much light in. As a result the subject as a whole is too bright, and parts of it are blown-out (the bits on the leaves where it is so white that you can't make out the detail). In order to deal with this you need to control and limit the light that is allowed through to your sensor. A higher aperature number would mean a smaller hole for the light to pass through, a faster shutter-speed would mean less time for the light to pass through, and a lower ISO would mean the sensor needs to be exposed to the same light longer. Using these three variables you can control the exposure of your shot better. The Canon tutorial on the following website explains how these work together:

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
The light on the plant seems way blown out. Also, the top of the weed looks either a bit out of focus ro as if it was moving just a bit. I do like the curved shape cutting through the image though with the leaves making upside down U's.
With such bright sunlight, it loks like you needed to either use a filter, or shorten your exposure. The lighting along the top of the weed is just too harsh , blowing out the highlights
the light is too harsh, and for the purposes of this challenge it might have served you well to shoot from a slighter different angle in order to get a uniformly toned background.
