I like your ps'ing. It really does look like the leaf is separated from the background.

"do" as in Karate Do, Jeet Kun Do, Aiki Do, "do" means "the way of..."

Leaf do what? :) I actually took this image in my back yard. I was bored and feeling experimental, the result was this image. I used a gausian blur on the underlying grass, trying to create the illusion of a leaf falling. As far as the tinkers and the way of the leaf, The way of the leaf is a philosphy of a nomadic race of people, The tinkers. The way of the leaf dictates total non violence, even in defense of your own property or life. The good news is the tinkers are fictional. Robert Jordon and The Wheel Of Time, is a fantasy series, and imho, a fantastic story.
