This image has a subject but could use some sharpness. That's the beauty of Macro Photography to me... being able to see textures that ordinarily unnoticed.
Yes! This looks like an extreme macro, the DOF is very shallow. It could be food, it could be paper, it could be many things. Good photo for this challenge.
