Closer and Closer Macro Photography: May 2007

28 May 2007 Theme of the Week: Member's Choice

This week's theme was Member's Choice. As always, selecting winners for this week was very difficult, and made especially so by the diversity of subjects and treatments of both classic and fresh subjects. Here are my selections for this week:

Invasion of the Death Pod by eljoh1

Harlequin Flower Beetle by jciv

Flower-closeup by Falcifer

Orchid Cactus by There and back again

13 May 2007 Theme of the Week: Dandelions

One of the classic shots that nearly all macro photographers try sooner or later is a Dandelion. This week our members took a crack at this archetypal theme with amazing results.
