Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #1

Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #1 -
"Colors!"

Welcome to our first Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #1 "Colors!"
I participated in this similar idea originally created here by august23 back in 2007, but thought it might be great for a Macro only version of this challenge. The rules are similar but restricted to Macro photos.

For this challenge try to show your Macro photo that you believe the viewer can enjoy the Colors!
Of course any type of colors of any type of subject can work

Wish you all good Luck and Enjoy!

Standard Rules apply:
Photo Submissions:

1. Camera - Any Canon DSLR camera
2. Lens - Any lens, or attachment that can give Macro photos (ex. extension tubes, bellows, macro filters, reverse mounted lens and of course a true macro lens.).
3. Time - any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered.
4. Size - Please see the Image posting rules.
5. Post-Processing - do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.
6. Posting -
* ONE MACRO PHOTO per photographer in each challenge.
* Photo Name/Title in the message.
* Camera model & lens used in the message.
* Post brief Exif data including ISO, shutter speed and aperture used in the message.
* Notes - anything you feel you need to explain.
7. Commenting - No commenting during challenge. When the posting is closed and a winner has been declared, comments can be made in this thread.
8. Questions - Use PM
9. Have FUN!

One challenge every week, on the following schedule:

* New Topic - After winner is declared.
* Posting Starts - Right after topic is announced.
* Posting Ends - 9:00pm PST (Pacific) Thursday, November 13, 2008. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
* Winner from this competition decides the theme of the next one (and judges it for a winner) after this competition is closed.

Congrats to all as all the photos were beautiful! and thank you for participating in the new Macro DSLR Speed Challenge.

The top three of my favorites for this weeks topic of Colors! are:

1. The Colour of Money by genodm - It just seemed to bring out the most colors to my eyes and to boot both eyes in focus. Well Done
2. Summers last bit of Passion by irispatch - The colors were just great and the mist really added to the photo.
3. No Name by Bill Pham - Well it was beautiful even though it had no name

genodm - The Winner of Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #1
It is now your turn to start and eventually vote on the next Macro DSLR Speed Challenge #2 topic of your choice
PM me with any questions

OMG!!!!

Thanks, John. I'm actually really surprised I won and for a change I'm at a loss for words....

Congrats to inspatch and Bill for their entries as well.

I'll get up another challenge as soon as I think of one. I'm hoping that will be later today as I'm tied up all day Saturday.

Wow, blown away....
