Voting for Macro-Colour. Please vote for your 2 favourites.

[Rob Z]

Hi – it’s time to vote for the winning Macro shot - with the theme of “Colour”.

Thanks to everyone who entered their colourful images – as always it was hard to choose finalists. In fact, because there were 64 wonderful entries it was nearly impossible. I thought it would be nice to showcase more than 5 of them.

So, I thought I would cheat and give each of you the opportunity to pick your TWO favourite images from the following ten finalists. Just vote as normal - but please put TWO numbers into the comment box. All votes will have equal value and will be totalled as normal.

Please choose your TWO favourites from the following images:

1. Pearls by Inga @ingajohansson


2. “Love me tender” by marloes @stimuloog


3. “Blue Easter Eggs” by Nicole @nicolecampbell


4. “Dandylion detail” by Karen @ksmale


5. “Raindrops keep falling” by Mave @mave


6. “Tulip” by Lynn @rumpelstiltskin


7. “Life on Mars” by Carole @yorkshirekiwi


8. “Abutilon Red Tiger” by Robyn @sonorobyn


9. “Anemone” by Ann @flowerfairyann


10. “Signs of Spring” by Judith @busylady


Voting will finish on the 15th April.
Many thanks Rob Z

@ginaanderson Hi Gina - thanks for your feedback. I must admit there were so many entries that I was a bit overwhelmed. As I don't have a theoretical photographic background I had to resort to what I do know how to do. I checked the definition for the word Macro and kept in mind that the image should be larger than the object. However, as I had posted the challenge as "colourful close-ups" I did not stick to this entirely. I did only choose images which had excellent focus as that is one of the key concepts associated with macros. And finally, as the theme had been "colour" I choose photos which filled the frame with colour. As I said - it was extremely difficult. I guess that many people have easy access to brightly coloured flowers and hence there were a lot of excellent responses using flowers. I hope this explains how the list of finalists was produced. Cheers Rob
