Found this maple seed jabbed into the rotten center of a large diameter fence post. It fell there by sheer luck, and I happened to approach from the same angle that this was shot. Camera is the Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 200mm f4.0 ais micro lens. (I may have added an extension tube as well)

This is an excellent photo, The Depth of field is spot on, with the lines framing the seed. Well done.

The lighting is what drew me to the subject. This is how I found the maple seed, and I didn't change anything.Equipment
Nikon D300 with a manual focus Nikkor 200mm f4.0 ais micro lens - I may have had an extension tube as well.Inspiration
I like looking for details in nature, and I considered this a find.Editing
Just my normal processing from a raw file through ACR.In my camera bag
I have too much equipment, and multiple bags. What I usually do is pick a camera body or bodies, and whatever lens I want to work with at that time. Focal length, and/or bokeh can be determining factors.Feedback
Though I used a macro lens ("micro" in Nikon lens terminology) - an easy way to start in macro photography is to use extension tubes with whatever existing lens you already own.
