Rick:
One of the nicest DF image I have seen for sometime. :toast: Love the contrast between the blue and the brown of the leave. The reflection is a bonus.

Rick, although I liked the one with the yellow leaf, I think this one is even better. You could clone the highlights on the leaf, but the sparkle gives the image some pizzaz. :cool: :toast:
