Leaves in the Sunlight-Picture a day #34

I decided to try using sunlight today as my light source and found these leaves in the yard.

I decided to dabble in post as I wasn’t terribly happy with what I came out of the camera, here’s the saved jpg from the RAW file:

I did some minor contrast edits in Aperture(Mac App Link):

I then opened it up in Perfect Photo Suite 6 Effects and had some fun:

And I saved that layer and decided to tweak a bit more:

I’m pleased with the final tones.
