Kerry (11.12.10, 9:35 PM): Unless the photographer was William Lee, picture #3 in the macro contest is featured in December's edition of Outdoor Photography magazine...I just looked at it XD
Danielle Bailey (11.12.10, 5:52 PM): Wow. i can't believe i actually made it in! Mines #95, but i don't think i stand a chance against any of these! Truely some amazing photos (:
Alexzander Carnel (11.11.10, 8:36 PM): hmmmmmm. #85 was not really a macro shot. the one i entered was similar, but a whole lot closer. sad :(
Suman Debnath (11.11.10, 7:15 AM): I’m not criticizing, but I felt that few snaps were just cropped image rather than a true macro……….

I like shooting the small world. I have never entered a photo contest before. It is a big deal just to be nominated. :-)
Shannon Morgan (11.09.10, 11:29 AM): Simply incredible!! So very impressed, I have no idea how they are going to narrow it down :)! Good luck everyone!
Diane (11.09.10, 11:11 AM): Really great shots! Good luck to everyone!
Josh (11.09.10, 11:06 AM): Great shots, who will narrow down the 120 to 10 or so, etc... Are the pro judges up next? Why I ask is because in the post you said YOU could only narrow it down to about 120 for Macro. So this leads me to believe your piece is done and now it moves to judges/online voting maybe... I originally thought you were going to narrow it down to 10 or so a category and then turn it over to the judges/online voting, maybe you didn't expect so many great images! Just curious how the remainder get narrowed. Great job Michael !
Linda Waagmeester (11.09.10, 9:48 AM): Wow, some AMAZING shots!!!
chaos2k (11.09.10, 7:35 AM): Some really incredible shots
Shannon Wimberly (11.09.10, 7:21 AM): WOW! I made the cut!...and wow! .there are allot of incredible images here.. really inspiring stuff.. really opening my eyes to the beauty of macro photography... have to start doing more...
Michael Andrew (11.09.10, 4:35 AM): PS- There are a few more coming on Macro, we only had about 20 people enter by mail. I will be honest, I LOVE to hold the prints in my hands much more than digital submissions. I have contacted most of the snail mail submissions and am asking for them to send in digital copies if they are nominated. I hate judging these because nearly all of them are very, very good and the differences are so minor. If you were not selected, please do not give up and keep on plugging away!
Namrata (11.09.10, 4:22 AM): wow.. mine got nominated .. got two more in cell phone division..:D thanks for the nomination! Competition will be tough because there are amazing entries in there!
Jason (11.09.10, 1:51 AM): I have never shot macro before. I might start! Some of those photos are freakin creepy! The one of the Bee holding the fly by the neck, WINNER!
Jason (11.09.10, 1:18 AM): Are you saying that people were taking photos with DSLR's and then snapping a shot with their cell phones? I was a little curious to how some of those images were ridiculously good!
Mike Cruz (11.09.10, 12:47 AM): Amazing pics.... this is better than going to flickr explore page :)
Shelli Sherwood (11.09.10, 12:42 AM): Amazing and fabulous photos, thanks for posting.
