No following of the thirds rule, nothing really special about it but thought it may be a good one to pick apart

I like it, the embossed look of it works for me and there is an s curve if you connect the the leaves weaving from top to bottom and back up.

When I started photography I thought the rule of thirds meant 1/3 of your shots are good now I've learnt that ratio is wrong

Hmm..all that was done was unsharp mask and sepia. Maybe overkill on sharpening

Its not how little or how much post processing is done but what the final look is. I have to agree with Marko on this one, looks more like a graphic design then a photo, I do like it though and like what you have done to it.
