No Always So Close

Wow! Everybody's shooting flowers now.
Remember, using a macro isn't always about getting as close as posible.
Sometimes, it's about the bokeh.
On the first day over 70 around here, I found this weed growing under the bushes.
Love the sparkle in the highlights.

my neck still hurts from trying to focus on the bugger

I agree about not always getting close, indeed with flowers I believe bokeh is everything. I buy my wife flowers every couple of months just so I can take pics lol.

I like this one and it is from a long way off, not macro by any means.

Nice shot and the background certainly makes the shot. I like the looks of this cropped a little from the top to just above the main specular highlights.
