Very Nice Brian, great textures and lines. i wonder if you had to move it a little more to the top left third it might help the eye travel there better? But i do love it, great job.

I did not do any pp but I gave it a try. What do you think?

#2 with some pp

Even better B,i would clone out the little green thingy as it draws the eye away from your main subject

but it is a counter point to the greeny in the bottom right?

At the end of the day B,it's your image,but I.m.o it draws the viewers eye away from the main subject I.e the leaf? Your call bud Lets see what the others think

agreed.

Nice.

Nice.

but would it be better without the round green thing above the leaf?

I loved #2 with PP Brian,I find the green round thing a bit distracting

Hi Brian.

It looks like you took the shot almost perpendicular to the leaf. It might make for a better photo if you were to shoot at an angle to the burlap.

there does seem to be a consensus growing about the green thing.

Actually it is not burlap though it does look like it. It comes from a coconut tree. I did shoot high but as you can see from the attached photo it would have been hard to get down low without re-arranging things dramatically. I find that I have no talent for re-arranging things so I tend to shoot them as I find them.
