Yeah. There's only so much that can be done with the leaf without blowing it out, unfortunately. I'm wondering if the best treatment isn't in color, but desaturating the green in the water to de-murkify it. More contrast overall and luminence in the colors. That could make the green and orange pop even more:




Really quick edit.

I didn't vote for the B&W version, but I'd bet that with a little more editing it could be a winner? :thumbsup:

What you are is so loud, I can't hear a word you say!

Not enough contrast in the B&W, the color one looks great to me

Color, but with the green toned down a bit. The leaf color just looks oversaturated for my taste.

Colored image looks great, nice, rich and vivid. :)

Read, practice, and shoot... Keeping the camera clicking

Just adding the original in here so I can have a look at them together...

... yeh, your edit seems to work well. I think the green on the leaf is still a bit to neon (a common Nikon problem). It could be toned down a bit in LR or PS.
