I don't know. I don't think of leaves as having a standard size so it is hard to really imagine a miniature leaf. They come in all different sizes from tiny to enormous so there isn't really anything revealed about 'miniature' here.

Asthetically, I don't find anything to grab on to in the composition. A study of the texture of the larger leaf might be interesting but it is interrupted by the smaller leaf which doesn't really add to the composition. Because of the somewhat flat overhead lighting, not enough of the texture of the leaves are visible to make this a really compelling study. Side lighting works well to capture texture, as it creates the shading that reveals form and texture.

I like the contrast...

Very nice composition. The crack does distract a little bit but an excellent shot for the miniature challenge
