Cropped, applied NR and a slight amount of surface blur. Cloned out a few spots of floating debris. Darkened the top of the leaf to show more detail.

Hi Ken. I like the "Lonely Leaf" look of this one! The reflection of the leaf, especially the V made by the stem, is very nice and the smoothness of the water conveys a very peaceful mood. Well done.

Hey Ken,
Colors look great as does the leaf angle.....do wonder if you can open up the shadow side a touch.....and since you also like the crop tool;)........so the repost shows an option for you.
Shadows may be too much on underside....but wanted to show a clear difference. Let me know your thoughts and now I have to go out and try this myself!

Roman, it looks good. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with. :)

I like Roman's repost. The crop helps the leaf feel more in proportion; eliminating some the bottom blue removes an area in which nothing much was happening. I also like the lighter shadow area--now I can see things happening in there. Lovely image and colors and light!

I like the repost as well. I immediately thought about opening up the shadow under the leaf a bit so Roman's repost works for me.
