Pretty Red Leaves (Dry Brush)

I saw these pretty red leaves while walking along a forest trail. They were probably the kind of pretty red leaves that were better looked at than touched. (Don't worry; I didn't touch them.) I did like the way that the deep red contrasted with the background. (Processing here was a single image through Photomatix for HDR effect, followed by cropping in Aftershot Pro, followed by Dry Brush filter in Photoshop Elements.)
