Gerald - thanks. This ended up being one of those "plays" that I wanted to leave here. As a straight photo (eg sharpness) it is lacking, as a lot of the leaf is below the water. To make it more interesting, I moved a bit toward the abstract and painting end of things and played with the colors & hues, and tones and contrasts.

Paul,
The yellow came from the pail I put these in when I filled it with water. I left the yellow there as I thought it gave it a sun-like quality.

I like those colors, I wonder what item is creating the yellow color? Paul
