Theme: MACRO

Thank you to @runrudy for Guest Judging this week's Contest!

and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that participated!

========================================

Thank you for choosing me to judge this week's #bwphotocontest.

So many wonderful macro entries! It was a very tough decision to choose. I had to get a vote consensus in the house to make some final choices.

I based my final decision on several factors:

1) Use of light

2) Composition

3) Magnification

4) Technique, equipment used, difficulty of shot

5) X-Factor / Creativity
