The playground at Memorial Park was finally abandoned due to the cold weather and I'd always liked the designs on the 'safe' matting underneath the swings. I noticed afterwards I'd caught a leaf doing cartwheels in the wind!
The original colour photo certainly didn't put any emphasis on anything, so I modified it in black & white with some heavy handed use of the colour sliders in grayscale. The leaves took on a pastel appearance with some shading still visible to define them and a slight black halo to make them 'pop' from the rest of the photo.
The second photo is similar processing to have the leaves 'pop', but with a definite focus on the fishes swimming towards the frame's edge (or lawn).
