I know the feeling mate - extraordinary moments lost forever. But you can take comfort in several fine shots from different sites.

Ha! I was going to suggest a map would be useful for 3526, and then one appears for this one. I can't speak highly enough of this one - would love to drive this road.

One for the P.O.D. This shot epitomises why I like deserts - the air clarity, the light and the starkness of the landscapes. Beautiful.

Gee you come up with interesting subjects - love the variations. I agree with your choice here - the smaller oof peek at Abigail makes me focus more on her craftwork. Great focus and lighting.

Fantastic. If it wasn't funny hat day, his expression would be totally enigmatic.

yes, super shallow at f4. really needed to stabilize her movement

I don't think you'll ever get consensus on what constitutes macro. Some "experts" say they've got to be produced with a dedicated Macro lens. I reckon that's crap - if you rely on a magnification value, say 1:1, then I don't think it matters how you achieve it eg extension tubes on a 300mm lens.

Anyway, back to your picture; I like all of these and your choice sits fine by me. Lovely colours, sharpness and bokeh typical of MacTak. 4631 also pleases.

Wow, that is up close and personal!

Mate you know I'm flexible, and I've certainly not adhered to macro this week, but this one sure does. I'm impressed - I've not put a Raynox on the Macro-Tak. Sweet on all counts.

This one for the Album - so good. So natural.
