Early Spring Leaves

Backlit, the woods are aglow with the early bright green shoots. I shot this particular one because I liked its symmetry. It was very windy so I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out sharp enough. All comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Nikon D100, 70-300 mm @ 300 mm with a T6 Close-up filter. 1/8 sec at f11

I like the simplicity and color of the image, but it looks a bit soft to me.

It does need to be sharper. The back light works nicely with the early green leaves.

The grey background isn't as appealing as the rest of the image - but I love the simplicity of the photo.
