Another interesting challenge which was not so easy as it first looked! I did the main tweaking in lab to increase the saturation and improve detail in the leaf while not darkening the insect too much and darkening the light coloured background. I also tried to give the leaf a translucent surreal look. I added a bit of red in rgb to warm the tone. The picture can be improved by cropping. Thanks for letting me have a go, I enjoyed the challenge!
Kind Regards
Chris
Chris,
The flat part of your L curve is making the background look a bit flat. See if you can adjust it a bit to take the "solarized look" out of the rock in the background
