 Taken on my trip to England to visit family, during a walk in Exmoor National Park, near where I shot the Clapper Bridge image for the "Ancient" challenge. I loved the combination of leaves plus water, especially how water's surface tension provides the intact drops and interesting shapes at the the edges of some leaves. There was just this one small area of backwater away from the river current where leaves had collected.

As part of my processing I used Topaz Restyle to add a bit more of a gold color to some of the leaves.

Thanks for the votes and comments!

When I came upon this I was sure it was the winner. However, I have had to put others into my 10 line as well. (What a wonderful challenge!)
