Greetings from the Critique Club!
The colors of the new leaves just pop right out because of the wonderful saturation. The texture is also good.
The background, though appropriately out of focus, is a little busy. The diagonal line of the branch competes with the subject for my attention. The good part is that while it draws my eye, it then leads to the wall diagonal, which leads back to the leaves, which then leads back to the branch. And round and round it goes. So in a sense this provides motion to draw the viewer's eyes all around the image.
Overall this is a successful image and is pleasant to behold.
Regards,
Grayce

Great composition and DOF. This has a really dramatic feeling to it. The colours are really nice.

Excellent detail, the shallow DOF really highlights your flora so much. Wonderful!

A unique and refreshing choice among all of these flowers! The main focus here are the leaves that are in focus, so while the out of focus leaves provide a lot of depth and interest, they may obscure the focused leaves just a tiny bit too much. Still, I like this idea and image alot. You may have oversharpened this image a bit too much: look at the unnatural white edges of the leaves. Still, this is a gentle, inviting image that I enjoy a lot.
