I have taken to hiking with only the children and my camera, no extra lenses or other accessories. This shot was taken with my new macro lens Santa brought.

Nice title. I like the shadow and light play. Great detail. This macro works for me. It would look cool with a big off white mat, framed in a rough cedar frame that has barbed wire on it. I can see it hanging in a barbeque restaurant or dude ranch mess hall.
Artistically, this is an excellent composition. I think for this specific challenge, though, if you'd found an equally compelling way to focus and compose it straight on, the shapes would have popped more. Nice work, though. I like the shallow DOF.
