Here I was captivated by the way the light was falling on the two leaves. I tried to figure out what was causing it but never could. I really like how much contrast there was between the two leaves in the front compared to the rest of the photo.Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 300mm f/4, ISO 800, f/22 and 1/20th of a second on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 3—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast and adjusted hue and saturation of certain colors.
Photoshop CS5—dodged and burned areas of the photo.
I love the colors, the texture and the separation of the leaves from the background. But I am not crazy about the image.

The color combination works beautifully. Your composition is simple but effective.

Do not know why it bothers me but all the spots on the bigger leaf distracts me. Did you think about removing them?
