this is one of my favorites. Not sure if it would be considered macro or not. Correct me if I am wrong but what do you think? Flash was used to fill.

all I did PP was crop it tighter and sign it. It is signed because it is on my site.
F 5.6
1/60sec
focal length of 150mm
shot in manual

Yes, I would call it a macro shot and quite a good one too. That was a good choice with the fill, gave nice even lighting. Good composition and crop, nice even color. You did a nice job with it.

Good shot, well composed and use of fill in flash, however this is a close up not a macro.
