Pork on the grill

I dont find the subject very interesting - but then maybe it is only because I am not hungry at this time. I do like that you were creative and did not just shoot another bug. Nice detail to both the front end of the pork and the grill

this is an awesome shot. Yours is one of three tens I have given out this challenge - wish I could give it an 11.

what a cute little guy! Nice green and yellow tones - detail is pretty good. Too bad you could not get rid of the white specks on the eys though. Still - 10

the colors are beautiful. I love the detail on the face - even the area between the eys where this fly looks to have been sutured together - lol
Great shot 10

the subject, while plain, does make me wonder what is at the end of the rope, or what the rope is being used for. However, for a macro challenge you need to concentrate on an area of 1-2 inches - even without a true macro lens, you should be as close as you can to the subject and try for sharp detail of the most interesting part.

upper corner is too bright - focus too soft

I See You!

the baby is adorable - however not close enough to constitute MACRO or even near-Macro. The focus is way too soft in my opinion

very OOF, and backlighting does not work well for macros

My son eating a cheese stick

Comment:
your title indicated the cheese stick to be the focus here - but your camera is focused on the eyes and nose.

not close enough to be considered a macor or even a near-macro. Seems a bit over-saturated also. Composition was good as you kept it within the trule of thirds.
