It's not too bad. My biggest point is: the leaf mass is very repetitive, all the S-shapes look like oversized dither and frankly depict an unnaturally uniform direction of leaf growth. It's a common technique to leave central parts of colour areas unpatterned and focus the patterning efforts on the edges of shadows and highlights -- the brain will fill in the rest, the piece will look less busy, and the artist will save a lot of effort.
