I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with this shot.
Compositionaly, there is no real focal point here. There are leading lines, but they are kind of confusing as they lead out of the frame in either direction. Your choice of subject doesn't seem to hold much interest.
As a study in shallow DOF, this has some marginal interest. The only part of the shot that seems to truly be in focus is the trailing edge of the center leaf. This is also kind of confusing and seems to detract from the DOF you've otherwise seem to have accomplished.
You do have some interesting textures that are accentuated by the side lighting! However this is not enough to keep my attention.
I WOULD like to see the other shots in this series (I'm assuming of course that this wasn't the only shot you took). I believe that as a collection it would give more validity to this shot as part of a bigger study. However, by itself it just seems to lack holding power.
