Re-Create: "Green Leaves"

Hi Lady Denise,
I like your original pano crop of these three of a kind green leaves...here is my interpretation and rendition of your vision and image.
I left the crop as is, not touching the compositional value. I adjusted the mid-tones, boosted the saturation and contrast just a tad, I burned the highlights, selective sharpened around the leaves and applied a double layer of the oil canvas textured sandstone finish to bring out the grain in the wood. I finished it off by applying ink outlines and a poster edge finish...I trust this appeals to your fancy...:eek::D:cool:

Hi Gus, I like the colors you were able to bring out of the wood from the original. Very interesting treatment you applied. Thankyou for sharing your workflow. You really punched up the leaves nicely! Well done.

Very nice treatment, Gus! Really brought out the texture of the wood and leaves.

Love the texture in the leaves, not sure about the BG...I like the texture but think t may be a little bright??? Could be my monitor.

lovely feel of textures and great treatment

Great textures and detail brought out by your effects.
