Thank you! The green was already there - I merely increased green and yellow in the colour balance, and decreased red. I felt that the green reflection was more important than the red colours in the leaf for this competition.

This looks like a mirror to me but it could be a piece of metal. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though. It's a very good shot.

Very nice flowing composition... a strong contender for the blue ribbon!

I like this photo a lot. It is simple and effective. I also appreciate the unique point of view and the lines the stem and reflection make.
