Maple Delight

from $275.00

Lake of Bays, Ontario. In the soft morning light, a maple branch over the Oxtongue River rapids seemed almost to leap into focus, its red leaves striking against the flowing water.

This single branch, reaching out over the flowing water, embodies everything that draws photographers and nature lovers to Ontario during the fall colour season. A burst of colour set against the muted tones of the river and the soft greens of the surrounding forest. The morning light illuminated the leaves.

The composition focuses on the interplay between the brilliant red colour of the maple and the tones of the river below. The river provides a flowing counterpoint to the static branch.

What I find most compelling about this image is its intimacy. While sweeping panoramas of fall colour have their place, one beautiful branch represents the entire season in miniature.

This photograph adapts well to various display sizes, though a medium format allows the leaf details to be appreciated. The Chromaluxe metal print process is ideal for this image, as it renders the translucent quality of the backlit leaves with fidelity. The colours appear to radiate from the surface, capturing that morning light filtering through autumn foliage.
