Minor post processing, added some saturation, slightly different levels of saturation to the sky and the leaf. Cropped to make a nice flow of colour from green to blue and rotated slightly so the vein and edge angles counterpointed each other nicely without being mirror images.

Nice, if it was the only photo of colored leafs in the challenge it would be even better but there are so many.
It's a nice picture but after the 20th the wow factor is gone (not your fault)
Good luck.
