New Macro Challenge - Colourful Close-ups, Colourful Close-ups!!

March 21st, 2018
Thank you so much Inga for hosting the last Macro Challenge - and thanks to everybody who entered/voted in the Macro Challenge.

This is a great challenge and a good time to be starting a new Macro theme. It's Macro week in the 52 week challenge and lots of people have been producing brilliant colour macros for the rainbow 2018 month.

So, I thought we might just have the new Macro Challenge with the theme of "Colour".

The competition starts from today 22/3/2018 and it will finish on Monday 9/4/2018.

Please use the tag: macro-colour

Entries must be taken and posted within the dates given. However, you can enter as many times as you wish!!

Previous topics include: hands, music, food packaging, brushes, motion, candy, knobs, buttons, cutlery, wood, eye, jewelry, stationery, fruit or fruits, water drops, St. Patrick’s Day, feathers, food, rust, leaf, herb/spice, money, tools, shells, toys, textures, bubbles, bugs, flowers, seeds, music, key, game piece, Christmas decoration, metal, glass, stone and now colour..

Looking forward to lots of colourful close-ups!

Rob - Monday is actually April 9th, not the 8th, and so I used the 9th in my weekly SH*T list. Let me know if that is okay with you.
If it is, perhaps you can correct the date here on your discussion page to eliminate any potential confusion.
BTW - congrats on winning the last Macro challenge with your great grains of granite shot!!
