Thanks for adding macro closeups. It kind of balances the landscape/garden category. And vegetables!
The idea that "photographic quality matters" motivates me to pay more attention to the technical part of getting a good photo. The Photography forum already taught me that the camera might be focusing on something
other than what I was focusing on.
I bet this contest produces a bumper crop of suggestions for several future photo contests.
If anyone doubts that bugs can be photogenic (or interestingly horrific), check out this thread:
