Please vote for your favorite image from the "Macro" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. The guidelines for the assignment were to compose an image that portrays interesting (close up) details of everyday objects, paying attention to shape and form, since these are often the primary compositional elements of macro images. I reminded participants to control the transition from "in focus" to "out of focus" in order to minimize partially focused distractions in their images.
To vote for an image, simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote." NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 21 June 2009.
