Description
I decided to submit a number of photos from my weekend at the cottage on the Magnetewan River. Nature photography is by no means my area of expertise, but I really enjoyed taking these photos, so I want to share them here. I hope you like them!Related content

Beautiful colors and DOF setting. I wish it had been big enough for making a wallpaper out of it.

the depth of focus, even though very small here, works very well. or rather, because it's small it works well.

This is an awsome shot Kev, very earthy, vibrant... I love the colours and the shapes. That is what a photograph should be about; form, and that's exactly what this one is about. The leaf itself has great form, wonderful outline shape and great veins running through it, creating a pattern of life not that much different to our own when we mature. Adding to that you have the maturity and the natural connotations to the wood, getting back to nature, helping the circle of life, creating something beautiful from something dead or dying. You have obvioulsy used an unusual depth of field here, but it works so well. I admire your courage as many would not attempt to take this on, but it proves that if you look look hard enough beyond something, it can only come inot focus more sharply than ever, and sometime become as beatiful as this shot.
Great two tone in the wood, exceptional colour contrast and good dodging of the hole in the leaf are exactly what this shot needed to finish it off and get it into my favourites gallery. Now all I have to do is buy it and put it in my lounge next to the fireplace. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work yet again.

that looks so thick and leathery... but I know it's so not leathery, but very thin and fragile..but i can see all the wee plant cells! poor deadplant cells..no more chlorophyll for you!

I think it's great that you've shot something different than your normal subject material. And you've done it extremely well! The extreme DOF is lovely, but I am with *Davenit on the black spot. It would've been cool had it been in the sharp area. Nice work!

Nice to see you branching out into natural lighting (either that or it was one hell of a spot light 
It's a pity you couldn't have bumped up the aperture a bit (greater DOF and all that), but I don't think the narrow DOF detracts from the shot and is indeed inevitable in such extreme macro shots.
Anyhoo, nice shot.

Nice depth of field, I really like the details you have exposed on the leaf.

Wow, that focusing is just insanely well done. I love those patterns on the leaf, contrasting to the nearly parallel tree bark textures. Very nice!
And the choice of a red leaf is very nice too!

This has so much... hope. I'm feeling quite down because the autumn seems to already be here... bleak and wet and miserable. The glorious glimpse of colour reminds me there still might be some beauty ahead. I'm really loving the shallow depth of field and the textures here as well.

Definetely liking the depth of field, although at first impression it seems to be way too narrow for my tastes.
I like the obvious textures and the contrasting colors.
I really hate being redundant, but you're just a wastah mastah of this type of macro.

So perfect. The colors are beautiful, very bright and rich.
I like th enarrow depth of field. We get to see the textures, but at the same time it's soft and pleasing on the eyes
loving it

hey Kevin,
I always love your works! Again, your colour contrast and balance are beautifully controlled.
I do like the little dot on the tip of the leaf, it is accpeting the beauty of the nature, the natural imperfection!
Waiting to see some new stuffs!

Nie image Kev. Yeah, I like. Interesting DOF choice and well suited for this image. The detail is great. I wish the little black spot was in the area that your DOF is sharp. I am glad you didn't foccus in on it though as too much of the subject would be lost. What? Nature couldn't make that little black spot 1" lower???
Great work...
