Hi Anne, nice photo and very interesting texture on the leaf.

To push a bit more the minimalistic aspect, I would have put more black and have the leaf taking only a small part (uncentered) of the photo, (e.g on the bottom left), but this is a question of taste,

wonderful contrast of the leaf on the black
