Leaf close-up

[noshet]

Hi, my first try on close up as i'm very new to photography.
Just wanted to focus on a part of the leaf and leave everything else out of focus.
Natural light in evening at my wooden porch floor. Pls comment on composition, is it too much blank space, in focus, sharp enough? and lighting mood & tone.
Thanks.

I think everything is fine in the picture.

I love it -- the colors and the mood. If I was going to nitpick I'd say tone done the orange in the upper left so it doesn't compete for attention with the leaf - maybe make it the same shade as the orange on the upper right ... this is a beautiful photo, nicely composed ...
