Photo Comp February 2010 :- Macro
 

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

Congrats to you Luke :)

Here is this month's offering (posted before on these forums). It is a hoverfly in motion just before it landed on the flower. D90 with 50mm 1.8 and an achromatic close up filter attached.

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)
