2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be colour or B&W, your choice.

Hah, one for which I have a decent shot already hanging around. Freshly emerged 12-spotted skimmer (relatively uncommon in our area) in our pond.

I was playiing with my 50mm M 1.7 with some macro tubes. This is a little refridgerator magnet I have.

That is some weird genatalia on that 'creature'.

[Artymous]

Guess I'll have to haul out the ol' Sigma 70-300mm Macro Super II.

Hrrm.. actually, that means also finding a new tripod.. I seem to have lost mine.

As a former hog farmer, I can tell you that people have no idea just what genetalia are sported by boars.

Whenever I had visitors while I was "introducing" a sow to her new mate, I could always count on their jaws hitting the floor.

Sorry for getting off topic- Clarence started it.

OK Tom, for that you owe me a macro shot for the challenge.

Good Shooting.

Oh yes I know about wine bottle openers. I just didn't know that this was a hog. Bettter put some weight on him.
