First of all let me preface by saying that abstracts are not my cup of tea. I can appreciate why some like the form, but I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to the art of photography... That said:

You have some very nice lines here, but overall the shot is very flat. There is nothing there to keep ones attention for any length of time. As has been mentioned by other commentors, playing around in P/P would probably help this out. As an advanced editing challenge you could have done just about anything to the shot. I think the things that would MOST benefit this would be levels or curves (using more of the dynamic range of the shot effectively), boosting contrast (same thing) and boosting saturation (exagerate the tones somewhat). You could also use color balance and the like to actually change some of the tones to come up with something more colorful.

Like Tygerr said before, It's not bad or ugly, it's just not that stunning either.

Yours

Comment by Shrink:
nice idea. like the detail on the leaf. background was distracting and could have been used to accentuate the subject. King Midas was his name.

The effect is good and creative, the pink in the mist of the background adds just the right touch of color.
