I'm a great fan of the found object shot, but your shot is not speaking to me. I'd suggest moving in more closely on the three leaves, cropping out the seam where the chair back meets the bottom, and working on pumping up the contrast a little to compensate for the somewhat flat light.
I think your shot is a great example of the kind of image that really captures the eye and the imagination in the real world, but suffers in the translation to a photograph. Ansel Adams talks a bit about the concept of 'visualization" by which he seemed to mean converting the sensory "eye" experience into the visual cues that would work in a 2-d static photo. I've seen some breathtaking scenes but my photos of them have been blah to ho-hum. It's even harder with subtle subjects, but worth it. Good seeing in the first place though!
