Hello from the ***Critique Club***

First, the technical bits... Your exposure is pretty much right on. You're not blowing out any highlights and you're not losing anything in the shadows. That said, overall, the image seems to lack contrast. It's a good thing to try lighting stuff different way, but shooting light through the subject, in this case, didn't work as well as another approach might.

From a composition standpoint, the main vein of the leaf draws the eye in and then right out again. There's really not much to keep the eye interested in looking at the photo.

Overall, I'd say it was a good thing to try, but not quite there.

Keep shooting!

Could do with a little more lighting.
