Ah man, please please just desaturate the wood... that would have made it so powerful soooo much more powerful... Otherwise, good.

good focus on wood, attracts the eye, a little soft on leaf, makes the leaf a secondary element.
Make your primary subject the focus point and let the background go.
leaf needs turning more upright to bring the top into the third rule.
would have left the leaf on a twig, it looks kinda lonely.
try using a mirror to direct the light/ shade if outside. good luck

If the leaf had been tilted to the left so that the light reached the furry surface better and perhaps a slightly closer crop I feel this would have been a better shot.

I may be way off here but the main sharp focus seems to be on the wood and not the leaf. This may be in part to the softness those types of leaves (milk weed?) gives off. You have a nice range of texture from the soft leaf to the sharp, hard wood and your positioning seems right on.

Good luck
