So in order for you to take a shot like that it has to be an object that is really tiny or just take a portion of the coneflower, is that correct? Not considered Macro unless it is 1:1 which on a Cone Flower you can not even get the whole center in at 1:1 but it is a very nice photo anyways

Pretty much. Macro of larger flowers is usually not the best way to shoot them yours was probably a little better than 1:2 which makes a very lovely shot but just not true Macro.So in order for you to take a shot like that it has to be an object that is really tiny or just take a portion of the coneflower, is that correct?

These are a little less than a 1/4in
These are just a little larger than a cone flower

I have the same lens. To get 1:1 you need to get about 7 inches from subject and focus in.
For the purposes of this forum (and the vast majority of the technical photography world), Macro-Photography is defined as 1:1 magnification (life-size), up to 10:1 magnification (10x life-size), usually captured with a true macro lens. 1:1 magnification means that the captured image on a CMOS sensor (or film) is exact same size as original subject. Macro dimensions can also be achieved by cropping a near-macro image.
