 One more leaf in a puddle shot - I guess this type of image appeals to me :)

Very dead leaf in a small puddle after a rain storm. Saturated the colors, gausian blurred the background until just the hint of ripples and a tree reflection remain. Painted the leaf back in with a history brush. Darkened the shadow areas with a soft burn. Cropped, resized, saved for the web.

Nice image, the leaf could be a little sharper in my opinion.

I love this shot! I would not change a thing. One of those that makes me go, "Dang, I wish I had done that."

Very nice composition, the halo around the leave looks too artificial though

I keep being drawn to simple images and yours is one that pulled me in by the lovely composition and the use of complementary colors to heighten the effect. Well done.

A really good spring photo. The reflections and textures, how the leaf is stuck in the ice... Simplicity at its finest.
