Collection: Challenge Pics - Meh
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S5100

Shutter: 1/50

 This is actually a green leaf in front of a white piece of paper which is taped to a desk lamp. I thought the green was too boring tho. So I played a lot with curves - hope I did not do anything illegal with basic editing.

Crop
resize
curves
HSL
contrast? (cannot remember)
sharpen

No idea how this will do but I was very happy with being able to get the background to look yellowish so as to represent the energy from the sun.

*****After challenge - I like how people presumed that I did not know what photosynthesis was lol. (Which is ok since I TITLED it that way.) I wonder if I had titled it : Photosynthesis - The AFTERMATH .... hmmm *****

Good color, but the upper-right corner is distracting because it is so bright.

cool textures and colors. may have oversharpened a bit as i'm getting a lot of digital artifacts in the white space at the upper right. - 6

Should have been green. Dry fall leaves are no loger capable of photosynthesis.

I'd like this a little sharper. I bet it looks great at larger resolution.
