As is so often the case with me, this was Plan B. The shot I actually worked hard on (for Neon) was a "double exposure" of me dressed and painted in white under a Ghost Paintball sign with a big paint splatter on my semi-transparent shoulder. It was awful. :-(
This was a "just in case" photo I took of a little barn reflected in a pond across the street. The day after I shot it, the barn vanished... demolished and carted away. Talk about timing!
I rotated the photo because it seemed more interesting, and when I did that the leaves looked like stars to me. My daughter walked in and said, "Hey that looks like night time." I was sold.
Processing: Convert from RAW, flip vertically, Crop, Channel Mixer for saturation, Levels, USM, and Curves (for contrast and a deeper night sky).
THREE ONES?!?!

Not voting - it's not your best, but I do like the leaves in the sky concept. Do you also have a landscape version for comparison? I keep thinking I want to see more of the sky/leaves.
Very interesting that you exposed for the reflection. Great choice! Wait! Ah, almost got tricked. Did you rotate the image 180 degrees? The floating leaves gave it away.
far out ........ certainly a twisted image .. or should i say rotated!? ..... love it ...... so crisp and the beautiful colours .... just stunning .......
