I doubt people would take issue with seeing more insects or water drops if the photographers taking those pictures tried to show us something new and different each time. By photographers, I mean those in the running for ribbons every time they pick up the camera (i.e. the sharp image takers). By different I mean don't just switch from spider to fly to bee or swapping out things to refract in a water drop, etc, etc. This isn't 1945. The world has already seen the close up of a bug's eye and how a water drop refracts the things behind it. No need to show us the 10,000th version of that concept. Instead focus on something different. Surely there must still be some creative ribbon hogs up to the task? |
You can say the same about Asian women, deer, or cats. ;Þ I've seen them done a million times. But I'll never ever tell anyone to not photograph them, that's none of my business. :-) |

 Roz by a landslide and I can't wait to see a new dramatic shot of bugs from her and others. It is a challenging challenge to do well and we have a few people here who do just that. |

True but it would be nice to not have to dig so deep in the challenge results filled with academic exercises (many whom should have advanced past this stage already) just to get to something interesting.

He might say "Honey... it's "Macro" challenge, not a "Big" challenge, duuh" |

 I took this through a very similar gadget. It got dinged for it being b&w but there were serious colour aberrations before conversion. |
