Tough challenge to shoot for and vote in. I think you met the challenge overall but this shot lacked any wow power. Nice greens but the blur focus seems off of where it might need to be. Not really sure how else to comment on this one.
Works well for the challenge, but I'd have preferred that one top leaf in focus - it's prominence and position within the frame makes the fact it's not in focus somewhat distracting. Greens are a good shade on my monitor, by the way.
