Default Photography Contest #5

So we have covered our vehicles, black and white, landscapes, fall colors and sunsets so lets take a drastic turn.

Entries: Thurs Jan 14 - Thurs Jan 21
Voting: Thurs Jan 21 - Thurs Jan 28


The winner of this round of the contest will then pick a new category/theme for that weeks contest. If the winner does not pick a category by the Friday after they have won (ie the next day) then I will choose one to post up. That way we can be sure to keep the contest in order and moving.
The winner will be picked by vote. Each voter will choose their top 3 favorites with each vote cast counting as 1 point.

RULES AND REGULATIONS:

There aren't many rules to this contest. Just a few basic ones:

-The photo's MUST be your own work. They must have been taken by you at some point in your life. They can be as old or as new as you want, as long as they belong to you.
-Photoshopping will be allowed. With that being said, by photoshopping I mean MINOR color/contrast tweaks and cropping. It will be hard to police this, so we have to leave it open. It will be fairly obvious though if you do some major photoshopping, so please leave it to just minor tweaking.
-Your photo MUST fall within the category of that weeks contest. Any random or out of place entries will be deleted.

Your entry may or may not include your truck.


This week's category will be: Macro photography


Your pic should NOT include your truck and must be a Macro shot (ie close up...see attached examples)[

Good Luck!

Note: ALL PHOTO'S MUST BE HOSTED TO ENTER. Pictures that are attached to threads will not be accepted.
