Finalist
Submitted for the PG101 Leaf Theme
I laid the leaves on a light table in the art room at school for the original shot. I switched out the background, cloned out imperfections, and enhanced the glowing edges in PSE4.

Nikki, so very lovely this is. They seem to be flying away through an autumn wind. The enhancement of the edges is perfect for that very effect, as though the sun is shining on them from low in the sky as they sail by. Wonderful idea and beautifully presented. #4930868Bob Cournoyer October 15, 2007
