I like your concept here -with your wooden man peeking out through the foliage. I feel like it would be a stronger picture if you had also gotten the leaf in the upper left more sharply focused. It is such a prominent feature in the photo that it is distracting.
Fun idea - a house plant from a wooden man persective. The lighting here washes out the leaves and the grain of the wood - perhaps with lighting from the sides could create some more drama or mystery? If your figure belongw to this "landscape" perhaps you could give him (her) some leafy clothing or some other touch to make him fit in better.
Sorry, the subject of the photo (woody) seems to be the central theme, not the plant life which is just the context for it. IMO doesn't meet the challenge.
I like that this conveys a study of flora, i.e. botany, rather than just some flora. The leaf on top is so much lighter that it keeps taking mt focus off the man. I want to lift that leaf right out of the shot so he's framed by only three leaves.
