Two Pictures On A Cloudy Day

I was walking in the back door of the office when I saw these two leaves stuck together. The contrast between the colors, the proximity of the berries, I had to take a picture. I shot with my old handy-dandy Sigma 70-300 on macro. Got rid of the background.

I started playing around in Photoshop. I lightened the top image until the background went pretty much white. I started out to lighten the leaves and really liked the background. The bottom photo kept the original background. I lightened the leaves without changing the background.

Think I like the top one best.
