Hello Alejandro,
The main problem with the photo was overexposure and not noise. I removed some of the highlights in the image to bring out the veins in the leaves again. Saturation was a bit too high also for my liking so i decreased saturation by -4. To finish it off I removed the noise and added some sharpening. Ad you can see the texture on the leaves is much better visible now. Best regards, Mike
