No offense, but most of all these pics aren't even macro shots. Nice shots, but not macros.

If a macro lens is used or it is zoomed all the way out, it's considered macro. The shot I posted had macro tubes attached to the lens.

No. I use my 60mm macro lens for portraits. I would not call that a macro shot.

This is a simple definition of a macro shot, which most of the entries are not.

"Macrophotography is close-up photography, usually of very small subjects. Classically a macrophotograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative is greater than life size. However in modern use it refers to a finished photograph of a subject at greater than life size."

This all fun!!! No need to remove your picture.. I agree that most of the pictures aren't macro, but everyone was involved and shared pictures.. Which thats what counts

Most of us can't afford a 100mm or 90mm to be a true macro picture.. But we make it work with what we have. BTW great picture of the Puffer

Doesn't the small picture size sort of defeat the purpose of a macro contest?
