Macro? Not sure. But the detail is certainly excellent on this fine fellow. Love the colors, too. One of my top six.

Love the colors, light and depth of field on this, but it's the perspective and expression on this guy's face that reeled me in. 10

blackberry leaf

Decided to try to comment on my middle of the road votes this time. The focus on that centered triangle of leaf just above the mid point horizontally is excellent. Wish the bottom was as sharp and more importantly I find the upper right corner very distracting. I don't often use a square crop but here's an image I would consider one for; lose the right third and a bit off the top and see what you think.

Decided to try to comment on my middle of the road votes this time. For me it would be nice to have better focus on the foreground leaves which are very interesting and no distractions in the background. I like the diagonal leaves of the plant behind but not the out of focus leaves beyond them in the left and right upper corners.

Decided to try to comment on my middle of the road votes this time. The blues and greens are pretty together. The detail is not particularly good - for me the green row across the middle ought to be in focus, especially for this challenge. It's also kind of a jumble.
