This is a collage of leaves from my yard in The Woodlands, Texas shot on Nov. 22, 2025. I collected the leaves from the ground, with the exception of crouton leaf that I pruned. Camera was a D750, and I used the camera's built-in flash to get the colors to pop and to enhance the colors of the wet leaves. I stood above the collage and hand-held the shot from above. In Photoshop and Camera Raw, I cropped the rough edges of the collage, adjusted the color balance, increased the saturation, and fine-tuned a color profile in Camera Raw. Also, I used the Raw auto noise reduction.
