The leaf was actually resting on the lens? I hadn't registered that. If it was a little further away, that would multiply the usable depth of field.
A tripod is very useful but not essential... if you can figure out some other way to keep the camera still. Anything solid nearby you can rest the camera on or at least brace yourself against?
What was the light source? Sun and sky?
