Hebe

As close as I could get with the camera and then cropped to get a bit closer.

I tried something I read on the internet, turning your lens around (a bit like freelensing), but I couldn't get it and didn't have the patience and time today to try a bit more.

For 52 week challenge. This week's theme:

Technical: Macro
Life is in the details. Get in close and show us the details we usually miss. You don't need a macro lens to shoot a macro shot.

Lovely. I hadn't heard about the turning the lens idea, might have to try.

great close up shot... liking those nice moody tones :)

for get pushed this week, how about using the word: "sideways" for inspiration? if you'd prefer something more tangible, then how about "geometry"?

hopefully one of those will work for you...

I have read about turning the lens around for macro also - but haven't tried it yet. How do people figure these things out?!! Very nice close-up - love the shapes and colors.
