Amazing photography! The focus is superb, and the choice of depth of field spot on. The colours are lovely,and I particularly like the back-lighting around the pom-pom like parts. My Red Ribbon :¬)

wow what kind of plant is that? The only time I've seen stuff like this is under water. Pretty cool shot. I like how you have only used two colors yet kept it pleasing to the eye. Well done.

I know these flowers! Can't remember their name though, rather large, very colourful. This is the inside part. Beautiful abstract!
PS - I remembered! Hibiscus. ~10

Maybe some kind of stamens? I really love the color and DOF!

Hibiscus flower centre.

Nice colours. Grat composition, but might have been better with more DOF and more spores in focus. Some sort of plant I guess

Another flower, but a super macro on this one that has great detail. Good coloring also.

hibiscus, one of my favorite flowers

This is a beautiful image. It looks like the pistil on a hibiscus flower, but it could be any flower. I'd score this a 10 in another challenge. But for the mystery macro it seems too obvious to me.

Looks like the inside of a hibiscus flower. Great colours, great macro, wonder if it is enough of a puzzle for this challenge.
