Nice image, slight blown out for my taste, I like the orange contrast

More dashes of background color would help give a more balanced feel, I think.

Interesting high key approach, but feels a tad overdone. That blue halo around the leaf that is out of focus is very distracting. Also, what caused that bluish shadow in the upper right quadrant? Another branch? I also think that a black line for your frame may have been more appropriate.

I'm not crazy about the level of posterization here. I think the background branch should either be more defined or cloned out completely.

Nice processing. Looks like a postcard. Very pretty.
