The contest is closed (sorry for being late ;) ).

Thanks to all contributors as all your macro photos are great!
But as you know I have to pick the best to my eyes ;)

3rd place goes to "Keeps Your Teeth Clean" by AUtigers350z
Interesting subject with good color, just a bit more contrast needed.

2nd place goes to "Between the wasteland and..." by The Fox
Great colors and sharpness with great bubble sizes.

But the best of the bunch to my eyes is

1st place goes to "Growing #2" by monty28428
Is that another melted CD? Well the colors and shapes with great sharpness is just Excellent to my eyes! Well Done!

Thanks again to all and sorry for being late.... :)

Congrats, Monty! Those nuked CDs are cool. I have one but haven't had a chance to photograph it yet. Your shots are a tough act to follow though.

Orum, was that some sort of a chain? That was kind of a cool shot.


I may be fascinated with volcanoes, but the name's Lisa.

WTG Monty! And what a cool and diverse set of submissions, too. John, thanks as always for coming up with those good themes. If I get my Sigma back this week, I promise to submit something new...

Yes and no; they are some extremely strong split rings I bought for kite aerial photography use. I had a lot left over, so I decided to interlink them into a chain so as not to lose any. While trying to figure out something to put in the contest, I had these lying around, and thought, "This might look cool..."
