In DPP: noise reduction, white balance and crop.
In CS2: curves, hue-saturation and dodge/burn layers, flatten image, lab sharpen, resize, USM and save for web.
Let’s see how it goes – a bit concerned with the “abstract” part.

I love the leaves. Beautiful contrast between the leaves and the log. I'm not sure about the composition. I would love to see a close up of the leaves on the log...it would be of great impact of emotion. An intimate croping would convey the connection off love for Autumn.
This to me, this doesn't fit the typical idea of abstract but if you change your perspective and look at it in another way (literally and figuratively) it meets the challenge perfectly. I think it is beautiful.
