I think that a different DOF might have worked better. Maybe approaching with a smaller angle in order to have sharp focus on the marriage word and the rest quite out of focus.

as to your question: You could try illuminating the leaf from behind.

I gave you a 1, this is a photo site your image should tell the story not the title or worse the text in it.

Like the last person who did similar in princess bride it need more surrounding setting not just basically a word processed document.

Set it on a nice oak table, roaring fire candle stick etc some context rather than just a thumb

This is incredibly clever! I might have tried for softer light or a yellowish tone to give a little ambiance to the book as it looks a little institutionalized (no pun intended). I rated this VERY high anyway. Although there are a other entires that are 'technically' stronger, the imagination is what sold this image for me. I don't know if you'll get a ribbon for it, but I believe you deserve it!!

An amusing image. The thumbnail and the flame... aren't they part of the story. I've looked for other distractions. It will be interesting to read after the challenge voting period what you thought the distractions were.

A favorite line of mine. This is a beautiful leaf, but it looks like you used flash to light it, and that flattened the textures and colors
