One plant caught a leaf of another using its own.

Thanks for the play. DT 5.7. I used the new contrast and texture module to add fine details to the leaves. I have attached the preset I have made to do this. Criticism is welcome.
I also placed the shadow and highlights module before AgX in the pipeline and darkened the shadows by 50% to contrast the leaf against the blackness. I find adjusting shadows with this module placed before AgX works well but never touch the highlights if the module is before AgX in the pipeline.

The yellow leaf looks like a human face looking to the right and correctly oriented according to the “breathing space” rule - nice find!

@patrakov Nice one. The plant is a martial arts master. Ha ha.
Quick note before I have to go. I think many of the dramatic high contrast takes look better on the small screen of my phone than on the 27" monitor. Just an observation.

A different take with a bit of color harmony and no tonal range remapping.

Not really a serious edit; just an observation. I see the 2 faces of comedy and tragedy within the pierced leaf. I guess I’m prone to anthropomorphism (appreciate spell checker; lol). lol
