Carol, with some more toning on the curve of this leaf, it will look more 3-dimensional. Try to blend the darker green right up to the edge of the light green so that the “outline” on the leaf disappears. The structure is good here, just needs more layers and tones to describe the turning leaf. (You can also add some dark sepia in the places where the flowers overlap the leaf). Good job!
