Very nice background, but there isnt quite enough of the foreground plant in sharp focus to really justify it being in the shot at all. With the leaves extending a reasonable distance back into the shot, and fact that the leaves are pointing in a lot of different directions makes it hard to get a lot of the green in focus, while still maintaining the background blur, so what I would have done if possible, is isolate a smaller amount of the grean foreground leaves, perhaps by zooming (preferably) or moving closer. That way the sharp field of depth you do have would be put to better use, and more of the foreground would be in focus. Still a lovely shot, well done :)
This is very nice with the composition, the colors, the contrast and the bokeh but, I think it would do better if the leaves were more sharply focused. One of my higher scores for this challenge.
