Simon, you created a nice depth in this image. I like the subject of the single seed in the pod and the way it stands out, especially with the contrasting green leaves in the background (a nice Christmas color combination, don't you think?). The back light on the seed pod adds to the separation of the pod from the leaves. I find that returning to the same subject helps to hone my composition skills. Some subjects are destined to be subjects of learning. As the weather gets colder, I find that I work on photographing subjects inside more, and working on subjects with the extension tubes is a challenging task. But challenge is what keeps photography interesting. One day, I may justify myself in buying a macro lens.😄
