I just made my first run through of this submissions in this challenge - whew, a lot of entries. There are some very good submissions too! A couple things I noticed, there are a lot a pictures of eyes - people eyes, dog eyes, cat eyes, lizard eyes - eyes, eyes, eyes, everywhere - not that there is anything wrong with that, there are some very good ones, and some not so good ones. Also, a lot of electronics such as circuit boards, once again, some good, some not so good.
All in all, it was refreshing not to see so many photos of bugs for a change.
Edit to add -
I also noticed that there seems to be some different interpretations of what is macro or extreme close-up. I good number of entries I couldn't put into either of those catagories.

: ) My subject didn't make your list. Mine is a macro in the sense that if you were to print it out at the "native size" the printed image would be somewhat larger than the original object itself. |

Hi I just finished voting all of them! Macro close up for was not met by some pics, however I voted more on whether I liked the pic, trying to keep my average vote for an average pic at a 5, then all good ones over a 5. I dont see much point in giving under a 4, a pic would have to be pretty bad to be under a 4.
good luck everyone :)
Lisa
p.s. my entry yet again is a four point something :) |

Gradually sliding as usual - from a healthy 9.196 to a gloomy 8.437

I was going to remove it before the deadline but forgot. I am expecting a few "this isn't a macro" comments, that's the up-side. :)

I have tried something that now I might regret... It is a Macro but it doesn't look like... I have concetrated more on the composition and lightning, colors... My photo is at 4.6 now and softly rising.. but I think I will not pass the 5.
I had other ideeas, but then I canged onto this... no comment right now... but hope to get some... to see how people got my pic :)

Oy. Hopefully it goes up some more.
Not that I'm complaining, anything over 5 is good for me, just that I've got a 5.45 pulling in Calendar and I thought my Macro image was better by a Sunday's Travel.

Funny because my macro is at 4.5333 and my calender entry is at 4.5370. I must say I'm a bit dissapointed, but all you great photographers wouldn't look so great if people like me didn't enter the challenges :-D
I just need to set a whole day aside and go photograph the crap out of some stuff -- come back and get at least a 6 -- that is my goal before the new year!!! |

...well, photographing the crap out of some stuff probably won't garner you a 6... in fact, I haven't seen a photo of crap that came out of ANYTHING that got much more than a 4... ;o)
hehehe seriously, good luck in your photographic endeavors! :o) |
