really cool macro...for me it's not a really strong feeling for the subject though...I'm rateing this high because I like this pic even though I don't think it fits the challenge 100%....
The way the photo was taken I don’t see how it fits the challenge IMO. If it would have of had a deeper DOF and I could tell what it was, I might want to reach out and touch it. Hope this helps, just my opinion and 2 cents worth.
I would have liked to see a little more in focus or a little more in the frame, but that is just my opinion. The detail gives a good image for "touch".
