This is beautiful, Yun! I know the leaves are floating on the water, but they almost look like they are falling through the air.

Very nice!. Like Barb said, at first I was confused how the leaves were floating in the air. Like it even better once I got it.

Yun: Just enough tension in the water to make it apparent that its a reflection but not so much that it obscures the detail in the bare tree branches. I'm curious, did you flip this vertically? Well seen and superbly captured.>=))>

A beautiful design traced by a pen with ink.Yun, it looks to me that lowering the light on the leaves the colors could be more saturated; have you tried?

Thanks to all the comments.
Bill, I rotated this 180º.
Gigi, thanks for your suggestion. Here's a re-worked version. I reduced the light on the leaves and on the cloud at the lower part. I also added saturation on the leaves, but very slightly. Should I go further ?

Yun, the repost is a large improvement. I can't say going further wouldn't make it even better, but this is where I would have stopped.

Beautiful concept and execution, Yun. I do like the change in the repost. It's hard to say if more saturation in the leaves would add anything, but you had the slider, so I suspect you hit a pretty optimal spot.
Well done.

Yun, I love the second version. The light and the saturation of the leaves are quite right in my personal opinion. Good work.
