With any green foliage, a light meter will do its best to give a reading
which will produce 18% Grey, or a shade or two darker. To achieve
a pseudo 3-D effect, I find that a layered subject works best, and
that the subject (foliage here) must be exposed to create a degree of
'unreal' luminosity. Here, opening the lens by two and a half stops
more than the metered value created a silvery leaf, which gives an
impact to the image. The leaf layers give depth, and shooting towards
the dark underbrush assures spatial perception. Happily, these
dark leaves also have green/white veins, which are now prominent.
It should be noted that the only light used
for this image was a low, mid-grey cloud base
