Just two leaves from one of the few plants that I've managed to keep alive. Editing included a slight crop, resize, levels (both overall and on just the white area), cloning out a little bit of the vine that got into the shot, fixing the color of the dead edge of the left leaf, USM, slight color variation, border and save.

What I like here is that it's technically well done, but I especially like the imperfections in the leaves. You took a bit of a chance using that for a challenge, but you picked the right one.
