The color and contrast in this set of nature images was enhanced by the low position of the winter sun.  I took the photos as part of a long term stock series that I call "Patterns of Nature".

This photo and the one above were taken with the Nikon D7000 and 40mm macro lens used wide open at f/2.8.  The image below of an Eastern Water Snake was taken with the Nikon 16-85mm zoomed out.


I ran across this freshly cut tree in the woods and used the Fuji X100 in close-up mode to capture the graphic pattern of the rings and the crack. In this series I seek to establish a strong, central focal point in the image and allow the composition to radiate outward from it.
