The red is a fairly faithful representation of the actual colour of the tree, which is what motivated me to shoot it initially although I lost some of the lighter shades with the method I used for the layer mask which makes it look kind of funky as well, so I'm going to try and get more of that included as well. I'm undecided on if I should leave the background full grayscale as it is right now or if I should just include colour but dial it right back?
There's no way that is a faithful representation of the colour of the leaves. There's no tonality to them. You need to calibrate your monitor or profile your camera - probably both.
