I'm going to take a shot at this, others may have a different view. My eyes are wandering all over this, there's bit much going on for my taste, needing a more clear focal point. The larger leafs have great color and texture and you might consider focusing in one of those as an "anchor" to your comp. Maybe, place the left pinkish leaf in a ROT position with the smaller green leafs surrounding it, and try and eliminating the foreground LLC OOF elements....................Just a thought. It will need some clean up of all the debris, in any case. Also, it appears the camera sensor may need some cleaning and save you some clean up time. Take another whack at it and see what that does. Keep 'em coming!

Hi Valerio, Jay made some good points. The biggest concern with the image is there is really no center of interest. As Jay said my eyes are wandering all over.
Cleanup would help alot since the debris is not very appealing...
Hi Valerio. You have some interesting colors, shapes, textures, and patterns to work with here, but my thoughts are the same as those of Jay and Dave, above. My eye, too, is wandering all over the frame and not finding a center of interest to concentrate on. All the small bits of debris in the frame are detracting from your image and would need to be cleaned up - either in the field before you take the photo or later in PP. :)
Hi Valerio, I pretty much agree with what has already been said. Looking at the direction of the leaves, you might have had better luck if you shot more from the left side of this plant so you are not looking at the edges of most of the leaves.
Does your photo editor have a clone tool? Cleaning the plant before you shoot would help but it can be difficult to get every little speck of dirt. A clone tool can really help in this case.
