 I tacked an oak leaf up to a white wall by a window and shot this through a clear glass jar. It made it appear to be under water. I played with the repair and clone tool and "broke" the stem by accident and liked it so much, I left it there.

ah, so it WAS in fact a transparency... you pulled off the watery effect so well that I assumed it was being reflected in water! The illusion (created with transparency) was convincing enough that it didn't even look transparent. Funny how that works, I encountered the same problem with my submission.

Oh man! I love this -- I had no idea it was yours, and I missed it during voting!!!! I can't believe it didn't score higher!

Returning for comments:
I would have prefered a softer shadow, however, this is a nice subject and wonderful composition with tender shades of white on white that seem almost glacier like. It lends untold charm to the coloration of the leaf.

this looks like a reflection, not an example of transparency...

I don't know what it is through which the leaf is being viewed and, without any frame of reference, the picture looks, on a first glance at least, just to be a blurry leaf.

A little too sparse in the composition. The picture isn't dynamic or exciting at all.

Nice, simple composition. The leaf seems out if it's natural element - I keep thinking it's in a sink or bathtub. I do like the broken stem part though. That area of your photo is my favorite.

Very captivating entry. Really hard to tell if the leaf is floating in water or not. Very appealing shot.10.

ice or water? I think I would have cropped a tad more off the bottom... its pretty that some of the green was still maintained in the leaf..
