 An attempt to add some humor to put things in a lighter vien.

Two leaves glued to a piece of glass. One I used a hole punch for eyes and razored the mouth. Backlit with 250 watt bulb.

Selected background and adjusted levels to darken.
Saturation boost.
Crop

NO - NO USM!! To those who will inevitably leave comments about it looking like that.

Is this your original? //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=46615. I don't get the improvement you've made here. It's funny and looks good but I feel maybe I am totally missing something here. Feel free to PM me with what you were trying to do here and what suggestions you were trying out.

Edited to add:

Thanks for clearing that up. As I mentioned the idea is pretty funny and you executed that well. I think you did an even better job of showing those lighter colored veins to pull off the pun. The smiley face seems a bit over the top but hey you're having fun. The composition is unique. I don't often see a crop like this in floral shots. Overall good job. I'm really interested to see how you accomplish this. Is that two leaves I'm looking at with one having a cutout?
