This images benefits from really nice coloration but also the way you have managed to manipulate the depth of field/plane of focus to bring extraordinary focus to that small part of the leaf works really well.

The image certainly works as a near-abstract but for this challenge I imagine if it wasn't a pure abstract or laden with story it may have been hard for folks to compare it to other images. Looking at the number of comments you received I suspect the image fell between posts.

It is a really capable and effective image though and on its absolute merits probably deserves more than the sub-5 score it receive. Stick this is a natural abstract challenge and it would return you a great result.
