Now this here is a happy photoshop accident. I had intended on using the leaf as an overlay on another shot - dropped it prematurely while dragging, then messed with it a lot doing all sorts of things. Result is rather interesting, don't you think? Now if I only knew what it was I did....
I like the accent on the orange, happy accident. I tend to like orange, yellow and red colors, as design goes I thing you could use this for many other projects.
you somehow dragged the color of the leaf about an inch down off of the leaf. It looks fantastic. It adds just enough extra complexity to the shot, which already has great texture. Remind me to tell you why this photo pisses me off after the B&W challenge is done.
