Shoehorn! I don't relate this image to the challenge. Had you said you tested a new macro lens, or practiced macro photos, that would have helped, but simply submitting a macro photo and saying it was Macro weekend doesn't work for me. DNMC=1

edit;
I think I was a little harsh on my DNMC on this one. Looking at it again I can see that you had a Macro Weekend. That in itself should have sufficed. I apologize for originally not giving this picture or title the credit it deserved.

This is a great macro shot. The pollen really makes it special. I am upping my original DNMC=1 to an 8. Best of luck to you on the challenge, and please accept my apologies.
