Looking at some of my older photos I decided it might be a good idea to see what other photographers subjectively consider high quality macro photography. I think of this as a little study to help us newbies figure out what makes a macro photograph successful.

With that in mind, please post in this thread three photos that you consider your "best" - no matter your reasons for selecting them.

I'll start:

http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6124/6016090275_9e475a50cf_b.jpg

Your participation is highly appreciated, regardless of skill level, subject matter or geographic location...

Picking three can be a challenge, even for a macro neophyte with limited selection, such as myself. I'm going to cheat a bit and include shots that are more closeup than macro.

1. Meadowhawk: Found this one hanging out in my garden one morning.


2. Hanging Around: White bummed bee hanging around cleaning itself with tongue (at least that is what I think it was doing).


3. Kokanee Salmon (about 8 inches long): A land-locked salmon, from BC, Canada.

Mine really aren't that macro-y but they are still pretty close, the reason for this is that I have the Tamron 90mm macro lens without tubes.

What I consider my best three, keep in mind I have only been doing this for around 2-3 weeks (I think) I also haven't had very many encounters with bugs.

Some beautiful shots in here so far and some interesting selections! Picking three images is a damn hard task!

Matt: Thought we may have seen one of your full body dragon shots from last season... still rate them as superb.

Like I said...it's a tough one! One of the runners up was actually a full length dragon shot
In any case, I'm looking forward to what you post

My faves. The first two are single images and the last is a stack of six images. Have a super weekend.
