More or less the same shot I entered in the Fill the Frame challenge some time ago. The last shot didn't do too well, but I was unsure whether that was because folks didn't like it or voted it low as a DNMC. This time around I think it meets the challenge well enough, so let's see how it goes.
Leaf 'skeleton' pressed between 2 pieces of glass. Lit with room lighting and 2 fluro globes. Shot with 50mm lens and 3X filter. Cropped, curves, brightness and contrast, resized, added border, USM, saved for web.

I am a total sucker for this kind of image! Did you "commit" to grayscale on this? I see three little brown elements (I spent a lot of time looking at this cuz I like it!), and now that I've seen them, I can't not see them any more (I can't not be bother with no good grammar, neither!). 8
