Using my macro lens, I found this very difficult to get a clear image. I had to try many many times, because there was always a light breeze outside and thus the tiniest movement caused blur in the image. Finally, last night after a rain, these leaves were very still when I captured this image. I did standard LR edits and then added a slight dreanscape for color enhancement.

Pretty easy to guess - but I had fun. I used my iPhone because of the cumbersome location - in the middle of the kitchen island looking onto the stove. But the fun really began in editing. I removed plenty of specks that were unsightely - I used a slight topaz filter and blended it - erased some of it - and then added a vignette. Then I did a BnW-Color Dreamscape to give it more mystery and mood. I did other things - but can't recall them all. Kudos to Hugo for being a good sport and model for me
