Thanks very much torifile!

I am most certainly not a photoshop expert, so what I did was probably the most inefficient way of doing it! But I achieved this by using bezier curves to get the outline of the leaves, then pulled them each out individually into a separate layer (so I can change the colour of the leaves on a leaf by leaf basis). At that point, I black and whited the background, and just fiddled with the colours in order to get the right balance.

The QGR shot was hardly touched in photoshop - just removed some of the dust and scratches from the scanning process.
