This is going to be a Start to Finish video in the Develop Persona of Affinity Photo. When I originally took this photo the leaf was backlit with lovely colours and tones in the distance. However, when I downloaded the actual mage it lacked lighting and did not do justice to the wonderful colours and tones in the background.
The video has chapters making it easier to find the part you need.
