Took this while on a walk aroung the neighbourhood, late afternoon, cloudy, diffused light. I wanted it to convey a "dark" mood.
De-saturated, curves, levels, adjusted opacity.

Well this kinda got smashed during the challenge. I have to say it does not have the crispness and color vibrance of other pics in the challenge...
The lack of contrast is intended, it shows how the leaf blends into the background as it fades away.
For the few who love it, I really love the way this picture turned out as well :-)
This is a cool shot. Perhaps a little more contrast and greater tonal range? Hard to tell from here. Good eye to see this and get a shot of it. Good luck in the challenge.
