I like doing unusual photos (I say artsy, my wife and daughter say "weird"), and kinda liked how this one came out.
The original shot was the two leaves on a cement footing I had poured years ago. There were some fragments of pine straw which I removed to create the background.
Then I took another image of just flowers and foliage and converted it to greyscale. Duplicated that layer and flipped it vertically. Next I combined the two layers using "soft light" blend mode into a single layer. Then i took the resulting layer and again applied "soft light", varying the opacity until it looked like I wanted (really dark).
Next, I applied some lighting effects. Hope you guys like it.
