Contrast up, Saturation down, then I cropped it in photoshop to make the horizon even.

It is a neat composition but wish that you had not cropped the bottom of the frame and put teh leaf right on the edge...were it to be framed, it would be cut off

besides the leaf being cut, the lights in the horizon is too bright in relation to the leaf and distracts from the leaf. but overall it is alright.

How did you get so close to the leaf? What were your settings? Macro?
I am new to DSLR cameras, but I love the focus of the leaf in the pic...
