Thanks everyone! I like the ideas about desaturating the leaf and/or adding a bit of color back to the whole photo- I think that would definitely help...it wouldn't be such a harsh contrast with the black and white photo.
candleman - I agree with you more and more every day. Selective color is something I did all the time when I first started PP, and I thought it was "cool". I've gotten away from it because it tends to draw the eye to all of the wrong places. This photo just jumped out as something that mind lend itself to the technique.
