Donna, your focus on the two leaves looks good here. The textures in the icy surroundings fill the frame with interest. One aspect of abstracts is that your personal tastes play a big role in how you process the image. A couple of things I would try here are some burning-in of the midtones in the two leaves to give them a bit more color and some burning-in of the dark tones in the top half to even out the darkness throughout the view. (Instead, you could dodge the darker tones in the lower half as another way of evening out the contrast throughout the frame.)
