Not really macro.
Anyway, nice shot, although it could use a little more space around the flower.

Nice light and colors. Do agree that the framing is a bit tight.

LIke it- lovely colour.

Always an interesting discussion where closeups finsh and macro shots start but I reckon it's somewhere around a 5cm FOV width at the nearest point of focus.

I agree that this is more a closeup than macro and that it's a bit too centered, but the flower itself is really beautiful. I've never seen anything like this -- what kind is it?

I do not understand 5cm field of view at nearest POF . The flower is a spider wort I think here is a pic showing scale. It is about 1 " at its widest point so the overall image is about 2" wide.
