An underrated photo in a highly competitive challenge. This is the kind of thing I like to do, too, but you've done exceptionally well with the delicate lighting to bring out the finer veins in the leaf.

Nice lighting and contrast - I wish the entire leaf were in focus - the part that is is quite nice!

Nice DOF. It has beautiful lighting too. Might be a bit too subtle for some but it is lovely.
