First Assignment

For my first assignment I am considering trying my luck with the Macro. I think out of all the examples I've seen, I am always been most drawn to the close-up photographs. I also live on a farm in the country, so there's plenty of opportunities at my home. I can do nature or animals.
Here's some of my inspiration. I think these pictures are intriguing, as they show details not always seen. They enhance the beauty of the subject.
