5 CONTIGUOUS

The Contiguous box has a big impact on how the Magic Wand behaves. With Contiguous ticked, the selection is limited only to pixels that are connected to the point first clicked on. This makes it useful if you want to isolate a uniform block or shape, but less so with an image like this. By keeping Contiguous ticked here, we tell the tool to look imagewide for similar pixels, allowing it to pick up all the isolated little gaps between the leaves.
