Weekly Challenge July 22 - 29: Topic "Up Close"

[Eyelight]

.

My first 20" bicycle had Bendix brakes

Finally got one (although its too similar to others shots ) My effort of a close up of a bee on a flower

Awesome shot Tracey.

Last couple weeks, all the images have been above average. Good work everybody.

I must say, every one of these shots is a winner,

All excellent shots this week.

I haven't entered any of the weekly challenges for a while so...
Even though this one is not anywhere close to the caliber of photos that have already been submitted, I am going to post it with the idea of supporting the contests/challenges, which keeps me on my toes.

I guess "Up Close" is all in perspective. Here is my "reach out and touch something" photo. I hope it qualifies.

Still learning everyday but here is my attempt.

 

[Gerb]

Tried this one with my 18-55mm. Perhaps I should add a macro lens to my kit...

This one's headed for the final round as of roughly 3.25 hours ago. Roughly 21.75 hours to like your choices before the poll and final round.

Nice shot and like the way it plays the old and new, but a couple hours past the cutoff time which equates to 8:00pm US Eastern Daylight. You can leave it in the thread. It just won't be eligible for the final round.

Thank you

... but a couple hours past the cutoff time which equates to 8:00pm US Eastern Daylight. You can leave it in the thread. It just won't be eligible for the final round.

I guess that's what happens when I wait until the last day (or hours in this case) to check out the the challenges. Better luck next time.

Macro lens wouldn't have done anything for this shot if you were going to keep it composed the same way. I quite like it the way it is.

 

[Eyelight]

Okay folks. This ones headed for the final round. Poll up in a few.
