SECOND IMAGE – (Watch in full display for max quality)In this image, I have cropped the image in Lightroom to show that the subject is still sharply focused despite the extremely shallow DOF. To achieve this, it is essential to understand the impact of the chosen f/stop, the distance from…Read More

Congratulations on your feature, John! While this image falls under our wildlife photography category, it would be ideally suited for the Macro Photography Group due to its close-up nature. Consider sharing it there as well!

Thanks Danie .Appreciate it! I did tag it #macrophotography. Is that not sufficient for it to appear in the Macro group or must I post it there as well?
