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.
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.
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.
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.
