Winning entry, with a score of:
78%
Contest goal:

Your goal is simple: Take macros (not just closeups) of seeds. Any seed will do.

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.[1] The ratio of the subject size on the film plane (or image sensor plane) to the actual subject size is known as the reproduction ratio. Likewise, a macro lens is classically one lens capable of reproduction ratios greater than 1:1, although it now refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio, despite rarely exceeding 1:1.


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

kyricom: Is this just turning into a flower contest? ( 5 years and 2747 days ago )
Alan2641: Lots of "NOT MACRO" and maybe a few "NOT SEEDS" although the definition of a seed being
1.
the fertilized, matured ovule of a flowering plant, containing an embryo or rudimentary plant.
2.
any propagative part of a plant, including tubers, bulbs, etc., especially as preserved for growing a new crop.

Will leave those up to MODS ( 5 years and 2746 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Seed
Noun:

This definition, excludes, tubers and bulbs. ( 5 years and 2746 days ago )
kyricom: Many of these shots just show the stamen and/or pistil... neither of which are, or become, a seed. What becomes a seed is inside the base of the pistil and not typically visable while flowers are in bloom. A lot of these are pretty shots showing the middle of a flower, but they do not show seeds.

friiskiwi: Mark, you seem to know more about plants than most of us. Please redflag photos without seeds, and tell us why. We need all the help we can get. ( 5 years and 2746 days ago )
