This shot was taken handheld. I under focused the shot to avoid capturing the distinctness of the leaves rather to capture points of colour, along the lines of pointillist techniques.
The shot was composed to backlight the leaves as well as offset them against a white background.
I processed the image with Color Efex using the Polarization, Dark Contrasts, Bring out Detail, Brilliance Warmth, Indian Summer, Skylight, Floodlight and Darken-Lighten Center Filters. I used the Brilliance Warmth, Indian Summer, Skylight and Floodlight to adjust the colours and brighten them accordingly.
