[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As far as the pp here, it may not be anything original, nor will it suit the tastes of all but I thought the result was somehow fitting. This picture was taken back in mostly untraveled area of West Fargo, ND known to locals as "The Pits". The area has for me many memories from childhood and this picture was the result of my travels back there one great morning. The photo was originally taken in color. Post processing done with photoshop. I've also uploaded a workshop per Mimi's recommendation. Let me know which you prefer.

I like the detail on the leaf and the spots of green really pop. Reminds me of the movie Predator, when they're in the jungle and find the 'neon alien blood' after gunfire.

I think it's an original idea! It's interesting how you used the moist areas to be the main focus. It makes it look like it's splattered by green paint. Obviously that's the theme you wanted to stress on (with water comes color).

One tiny thing though, on the left leaf I did notice a few wet spots that you haven't colored. You could've used that to make it look more natural. As if color was not only meant for the center leaf but for the whole world.

Just a suggestion...

Excellent PP work Kirk. The green colour almost makes it look like dust being washed off. Good POV, well detailed. TFS,
David

I haven't been able to get close to replicating any of the first 3.
