Do Leaves Dream in Color? WC 305

I posted the original of this image on ES&S on 11/7. Thought it might be fun to apply this week's challenge theme to it.

To achieve this image I created 6 duplicate layers of the original, then converted the background layer to B&W. Then I did selections based on color range for each of the main leaf colors (one color per layer). On each layer (all other layers but background invisible), I deleted everything that wasn't the chosen color, so that the B&W background layer showed through. Once all of the leaf colors were chosen and everything else was eliminated, I flattened the image.

It was a fun exercise. Comments on the result are appreciated.
