Just have this compulsion to submit things into challenges. Will this be dapplish enough or not? Yes it's busy in a sense but that's what happens in nature sometimes.

Sorry but this doesn't quite work for me. I think its the lack of a focal point that I find off putting. This might not be so bad if there was a repeating pattern in the image, but this isn't the case either.
This photograph is strong because it seems like there are three different values, the dark shadows the median gray of the leaves and the highlights created by the dappled lights.
Looks like a piece of graphic. The composition would be perfect for a textile :) I like B&W choice for this one. It's excellent technically. Very elegant. I wonder if yo had more smaller leaves in frame, as they look more interesting (making the composition more interesting I mean, than big flat areas of big leaves).
The B&W is good, the light is very good, the composition...wich composition?
Something very strong is not needed with this kind of image, but at least one line leading the eye into the image was necessary IMO. Globally, above average though.
