Photo Comp February 2010 :- Macro

[lukemillar]

Cheers for the votes last month :) I thought it was one of the best months to date as there we so many entries.

This month I want to keep it broad again, so hopefully there will be a lot of entries :cheers: (I can almost hear Richie crying into his keyboard - sorry - you do a great job:) )

The theme:

Macro

The rules:

1-Anything goes EXCEPT photoshopped tilt/shift. Tilt/shift is only permitted if it has been done in camera (i.e with a camera's movements) and not as a post effect :)

2-Subject can be anything you like, so long as it is close-up/macro photography.

3 - EDIT I forgot the standard Richie smackdown - No chatting, 1 pic per person blah blah, you know the score :wink:

Go people!

Cheers
Luke

Is this a Macro competition or the most impressive invertebrate comp :-P

Anyway, something a bit different I guess, the iridescent wing bar of a Wigeon (duck)

100% crop on my Tamron 90mm.
I can only assume the white stuff is gypsumboard residue from our recent bathroom remodel!
