Even though there weren't that many entries this challenge was very hard to judge. Every one that entered gave their own twist to the macro shots. All of the entries were very good.

So with out further B.S. Here they are in order For # 3 I chose Arpe's shot of a Tree Wea. That is one ugly insect But very well done.

For second place I chose Julie and her shot of the 12 spotted skimmer. Really nice shot Julie

And First place Goes to Adam. This capture was very nicely done I liked the DOF and the clarity of the shot Adam you even were able to capture the pollen dust and it was so clear.

And to all the others that submitted an entry thank you All of you did a great job.

I'm away on holiday,just managed to sneak a computer for a while. I'm surprised, and slightly humbled, I didn't rate my shot, but thanks, it helps build the confidence.
