I don't understand the title. I think the border is too elaborate. It adds to the photo in feel, but takes away attention from the photo itself. I guess I consider it a double edged sword. And finally, I like the photo, but I don't think it is a "Macro" shot.
I feel that a macro could best be desribed as taking a photo of somthing in such a manner that you would get the feeling that you were an inch tall. Everything around you that was before so insignificant is not dazzling in it intricacy. The hairs on a leaf, the way sand apears as boulders, or the way an an't has somehow become larger than you. This I don't feel fits what I would consider a macro. I do however absolutaly love This shot It has great color and tones. My eyes wander from one lace to another making this a very exciting photo. Keep up the great work.
Woah a bit over the top on the border, which is a shame cos the photo looks great! I just cant stop being distracted by the border though so I'll have to knock off a few points.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this does't give the appearance of an extreme close up to me. It looks like a huge piece of machinery. And I'm not getting the title reference either. That being said, I think it's a nice photo. I like the color and the focus and clarity are good, lighting really makes the photo. Even though I don't know what this is, it still appeals to me in some odd way. ~Heather~
I don't understand your title at all.
I'm not sure if all these borders are really necessary.
Nice picture all in all, even if I have no idea what this is.
