People who are asking how I did this... It was easy. I rolled a paper, and have it stand vertically top of bunch of yellow leafs and put the green leaf on top of the paper. It gave a very nice depth. No glass or strings :) I almost missed the whole thing, couldn't find a "green" leaf, I was thinking to paint one, but I got lucky. Picked from a tree at front yard :)
Thanks everyone who commented and gave me good (or bad) points :)

I like the image and it is a different take on the leafs shots compared to others in this challenge. As a personal preference I would drop the (of being the only young one). It forces the viewer to have to see the image from one angle instead allowing them to draw their own conclusions. Also it distracts me from looking at the photo.
WOW! This photo got me! Nice composition and color. Not sure how you were able to separate it from the background, but it's a nice touch! I'm giving it a 9.
Oh, I really like the way you did this. The translucent effect of all the leaves is just awesome!!!! I love the way the foreground leaf seems suspended in mid......fall! 8>) 8
