The colour contrasts are very nice .. and eye-catching ... between that of the bokeh/background and the budding leaves themselves.
Caveats?
Nit picking here..
Perhaps a slightly wider DOF to bring more of the top part of the leaves into stronger focus.
This mentioned with respect to that of the forefront leaf/leaves in particular. As the background furled leave's clarity/focus and then, the stem itself is good good.
Or..
Conversely, and as a suggestion ... keep the DOF shallow/narrow with the focus on the front leaves. Fading away to the back leaves ... and then into the background/bokeh.
Very nice shot, Sandi. Lovely in it's simplicity and composition.

Simply beautiful. A very attracting subject for photographers but not as easy to take photos of such beautiful fresh leaves as expected. This is a great capture. Great background as well.
