found a perfect rusted oak leaf, stuck it into the tree bark, took a picture, (well, several pictures, of course!) resized and adjusted saturation and contrast...

Great sharpness and contrast with an interesting background. But not enough interest overall. Perhaps from closer up the curves of the leaf would develop something more interesting than it does as a whole.

Nice stretch on the word "rusted" for this challenge. Definitely think it fits and is unique. Nice tree detail while still making me focus on the leaf!
i guess maybe i need to keep a more open mind but i was looking for iron oxidation :) imho you could have contrasted the leaf more with green material or the blue sky to really bring out the color contrast. After relooking at your pic i'll have have to rescore it higher since you helped me reevaluate my idea of this challenge
