Editing: Start with RAW and do my color and tone adjustments there. Then I did a contrasty conversion to black and white, used topaz adjust to emphasize the details and tones. Then I converted to grayscale, duotone, second choice was black, first choice was some green (and I will never find it again I am sure). This editing made the greens look better. :)

WOW MICHELLE .. !!!
the thumb doesnt do this one justice at all .. on opening it was such a kapow .. !!
love the excellent details, the brilliant droplets and killer tones .. congrats on a great place in the challenge and leaves made STUNNING .. !!!
Wow, excellent choice of colour for your second tone. Great clarity. I'm not sure whether it is a consequence of post-processing or just some lighter background blur but the lighter areas under the leaves look a little halo-ish - I think I might have been tempted to blend that area into the background a little more (though as the the photographer if I knew it was something in the background I'd probably leave it).
This is pure deliciousness. I usually don't like over saturation in a duotone but man - this is almost something I can taste and smell. Nice. Bumping up.
absolutely stunning. so crisp & clear, such gorgeous saturation, and perfect lighting/background. ::sigh:: I could stare at this for a long, long time.
I really like your photo, but I have some questions...1 is it color (thus, I think you shot in duotone) or did you change this to B&W then add all the green? I really, really like this picture, the dew drops, the clarity of your shot...excellent
Probably considered more "in color" than "toned" but hey, it's quite lovely and it is in two "tones" - green and black, I'd wager. And it's very lovely. Excellent DOF to get clarity on the drops and good detail. Very gentle, calming photograph.
