Yes to this, just lovely with detail. Personally, I would not have minded less marginal space atop, a tighter crop would puch this out further, but that is just my opinion. This photo is alive and a happy one, at least it makes me happy.

Yup yup yup much better.

Very nice

stunning

Congrats Patty, really lovely

Congratulations on 1st one Patty!

well good dof in this and a piece of nature turned almost into an abstract,nice one this

Great macro

My hair this morning! I love this, the detail caught is exquisite and fill the frame was the only way to go. Nice compositional style. What are you shooting with?...and lens?

Thanks for that info. Very good shot.

Good close-up and I like the limited yellow against the vastness of the red,good balance in this.

Mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Very nice

Thumbs up. I love the way you presented the smallness of grains against a coin and made us look closely. Thank you also for your artist's notes I enjoy learning about an image and didn't know that. Your sharpness is seen through the planes of the image. Remember that circular objects formatted onto a perfect square give a very strong photograph and you did this. I also like the dark vignette. This image holds the viewer nicely.

I love this one and the use of a coin for size is inspired.

Clever this one and you certainly thought outside the box with this one.
