The name of this version came from my imagining tiny elves hiding in the dark and perched on the leaves. Maybe you can see them too, if you look long enough.

Here's what I remember of the process:

1. Opened the original photo and, in the Layers palette menu, chose New Layer (Layer 1).

2. In the Colors palette, picked a teal green from the Hue Ring and Saturation/Value Triangle as the Primary Color (front color square) and black as the Secondary color (rear color square).

3. Clicked the Gradient Selector icon at the bottom of the Tools palette and from the drop down menu, choose Launch Palette.

4. In the Gradients palette, chose the Two-point Gradient icon (black and white), clicked the Linear Gradient icon (top left), then positioned the red ball on the Gradient Angle Ring at 0 (zero) degrees. 

5. With Layer 1 highlighted in the Layers palette list, used Edit > Fill, Using: Gradient.

6. With Layer 1 still highlighted, in the Layers palette's Composite Method drop down list, chose Multiply.

7. In the Effects menu, chose Surface Control > Apply Lighting, picked one of the preset lighting styles and adjusted the lights and sliders. 

(Sorry, I don't recall which lighting style or how many lights I added and adjusted, but you can play with them like I did until you get a result you like. It will vary a lot depending on the photo or other image you're working with and the final look you want to achieve.) 

8. Clicked the Dynamic Plugins icon (plug, second from the left) at the bottom of the Layers palette and chose Liquid Lens. Liquid Lens Floater 1 appeared in the Layers palette list. Immediately clicked the OK button to close the Liquid Lens dialog box.

9. In the Layers palette, highlighted Layer 1 and dragged it above the Liquid Lens Layer. Now the Liquid Lens effect would only apply only to what was below it, the Canvas.

10. In the Layers palette, double clicked the Liquid Lens Layer to open the Liquid Lens dialog box again.

11. With the Liquid Lens dialog box opened, clicked the Rain button and almost immediately clicked in the image to stop the process before it became too much. (click the Clear button any time before closing the Liquid Lens dialog box if you want to remove the effect and try again). Once I was satisfied with the effect, clicked the OK button.

I doubt that I could get the exact result again, so if you try this, don't be dismayed if your results are different. They may be a lot better and, in any case, you'll have had some practice and hopefully some fun.
