Otter, this is an awesome set of photos and all are close up.
I realize that this is a close up forum and all, but I post almost all of my photos here and some are anything but close up. The individuals here are about the best individuals on UHH and I welcome thier comments is my reason for doing so.

They look pretty special to me. I should be this good.
Thanks! I believe all of the above were shot with a Nikon D2x and Nikkor 200mm micro lens. VERY OLD school now (camera at least) but with a lot of luck one can still get decent pics, at least snapshot quality (sometimes). Spending a LOT OF TIME in the field with a decent tripod seems to work best for me. I'm sure you can do as well and likely much better!

Thanks! Good folks do hang around here for sure.
Having spent a good part of my professional life
bent over high quality light microscopes (Zeiss, Leitz, etc.) I guess I have a difficult time differentiating between close up and macro photography. I thought that when I purchased my first micro /macro lens back in the '60s in my mind I thought I was doing macro photography.
With better cameras and fantastic minds things do change, for the better obviously, so I feel more comfortable with "close up" I suppose.

Very nice! That first one looks a lot like some chanterelles.
