"leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days." John Burroughs

I started with the image of the leaf on the left. I worked on this one for quite awhile to get the right layering. With it having a dark background, it made it a bit more challenging to find the right one. The layer is an image I found of shale, or some other natural rock. I also layered an image of another fall leaf. Then it was a matter of playing with opacities and erasures. I also ran it through Color Efex Pro Glamour Glow twice to bring out the colors a bit more. :)

I love your title, makes the image that more meaningful.

Lovely abstract colours. It took some seconds to see the leaves - I first saw the neck of a guitar, looking down from the head.

At first glance I thought there was a creature (or maybe a cockroach) on the left coming out from behind the foreground object. Cool shot. Love the colors!

I like how the light on the leaf on the left brings it forward so that the colours behind have more depth. Nicely done, looks like it was fun.

Great colors, i thought it was an insect at first, but now can see the leaves.

It's such fun playing with layers and seeing what you can do. I'm a big fan of the glamour glow filter in CEP, I've used it on all of my recent uploads.

Oh Judy , it's a work of ART ! I love the deep jewel tones - the way the leaf enters the frame & the glow is just fantastic !
