Here is my "after" picture. I edited it in Photoshop CS3 but the technique could be duplicated in Elements. I changed the tint in RAW to a little more red. Then I took the pic into Photoshop and cropped it some, getting a better composition. I duplicated the layer and darkened it. Then I flattened the image. Then I used a spotlight technique of Scott Kelby's. I used the filter Render and chose Lighting effects. From that screen I made the circle larger and centered it over my leaf. I chose the style flashlight and clicked ok. It seemed way too dark so I backed off the opacity until I liked the looks of it. I liked the end result.
