Winner of the Macro contest

Again some stunning images have been submitted. In this month's macro contest a lot of members showed that they truly understand the rules of close-up composition.

The winning picture and the runners up will appear on the main page again.

The winner:

"Out of the Fog" by Macroman



The color pattern in the eye is very stunning and the intentional blurring of the rest of the fly is not always wanted, but here, certainly it works well and focuses the viewer on the eyes.

2nd place:

"Multicolored butterfly" by Solete


A great capture of a very pretty specimen of a butterfly. Also the bokeh is smooth.

and 3rd place:

"Weirdest bug ever" by Moon2moon


With the bug being so small, this is truly a macro shot and there is a lot of detail in the picture. The special kind of tail makes this shot even more interesting.

Thanks everyone for participating and never give up on practising!
