Week 9 Challenge - Macro photography
This week it's all in the fine details, it's macro photography, it can be of anything, flowers, insects, whatever you like. What I'm looking for is a close up taken with great detail and an artistice flair.
My addition
As an example of what type of photo im looking for I took this close up photo of a feather that has fallen perfectly of this leaf on a riverwalk near Kilkenny city in Ireland, although macro photography generally uses a macro lense I want to show that even without you can still take a beautiful photo, this photo was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S6 smart phone.
How to enter
Get out there and taken some detailed macro shots and use #rickysphotochallenge as the main tag and title the post Rickysphotochallenge Week 9 entry - Macro photography.

Congrats to the winners! Great selections!
Thanks I hope I chose right!
Well, my entry is in 😂 But this time I participate more to be able to support by upvoting and resteeming this post 😉
Wish much success to all participants and, again, thank you for the mention!!
You'll get rich from this contest 😂
Who knows? 😂😂😂
But not with this theme... I've seen some macro pictures from other participants and... there are really great ones amongst them!
There is a huge difference this week between the people taking close ups and the people with macro lenses I have noticed.
Absolutely. For most people seeing something "big" is already a macro 😄
That's why I didn't send in more pictures this week apart from the one to support the contest... I just am not into macro...
But hey, on the other hand, it's good for the contest, can't remember to have seen that much contributions 👍
Theirs a lot of entries this week alright!
