great focus on the leave. The shadow of the leaf on the right detracts.

If you could remove whatever was making the other shadow (not the frog, of course), I think it would have helped.

A nice idea for an image, but it seems a little obvious that the frog is a toy and the other silhouette is distracting as its unlear what it is.

The colour here is really nice though, and the high contrast works well too with the detail in the leaf being especially nice.
