I moderate the Macro Forum. I never heard about the logic of "stop promoting the same site over and over." Maybe Admin did not like your included flickr URLs.

Please re-post your macro insect images to the Macro Forum, and please post your reptile images to the Close-Up Photography forum.

Thanks, Nikonian. I too was an admin/mod (still am) of a forum. An overzealous one too, at that LOL. I am glad I am not like that anymore LOL.

You see, when I post snake photos, I'll add a link to my snake collection, so on and so forth. I do the same in all other forums and this has never been an issue. It's not like I post something totally irrelevant.

Your macro expertize and macro images are most welcome. We have a True macro-Photography Forum specifically for 1:1 {life-size) and higher magnification.

We also have a Close-Up Photography Forum for images of about 1:4 (1/4x life-size) up to near 1:1 (near life-size). Your animal images & expertize will be most welcome there as well.

Thanks, Nikonian. I did post there but the thread has been deleted by mod/admin, the reason given: please stop promoting the same site over and over. thanks.

AWESOME photos!!
Welcome to the "Hog"!!

You might want to click on HOME, then go to All Sections and check out the Close Up and Macro sections, but don't forget to post in the general Gallery as well so that all of us can see your great work.

Thank you Wahawk. Yes, I posted in the macro board as well.

Hi, just joined the forum a moment ago. My main interest is in macro photography. I'll be sharing my macro/nature images here soon. Not just bugs, but frogs, snakes and anything that interests me.

cheers
