Stack of three photos, I also added a slight diffused glow, blurred the background to get rid of noise and mix the adjusted hues, and obviously changed the hues.

First.. Thanks to all participants for sharing your great macro photos :)

The top three to my eyes is:

3rd place goes to Leaf Hopper by hooker771
Nice vibrant colors..

2nd place goes to Red Veins by geno.ca
A beautiful red with nice vein highlights

1st place goes to Psyco Leaf by Lester Wareham
Your colors, textures and wetness just looked the most beautiful to my eyes. Then to top it off the photo was taken with ISO 1600... Well Done!

Thanks again to all participants :)
