Although not technically macro, (it's a close-up), I like what I did to this in Photoshop's Neural Filters (view the download).

Lovely 🏆🏆🏆🏆

I'm going to jump in, but mine cannot compare to some of the earlier close ups! But I dabble in macro occasionally.

Wonderful details in this great set.

I have a Christmas Cactus that has continued to bloom for almost 2 months - never have I seen it bloom for this long. I have another that bloomed at Christmas and is blooming again! The flowers are so pretty.

These are all beautifully done, Nancy. The lighting is spectacular.

I love Marco photography. Show me your macro images.

Here is my first contribution to the challenge.

Nancy

I haven't had any real macro experience; my equipment limits me to "close-up," really, but I have found it fun to get close and see minor details not easily visible from any distance. Cropping helps bring us in closer also. Here are a few done in local gardens and trails.

Got the tripod in 2 sizes BUT, rarely use them if at all....Lazy!

I am guilty of that as well!

Wonderful series, like that bumble bee in the first one!

Nice! I don't see any limits there... just well captured images.

Nice work, I like it as well.

Thanks. My original was a Kodachrome slide from the distant past, probably 1980s. The old slide was MACRO PHOTOGRAPHED and processed in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

The first and last of your post are superb, but I like them all.
