My apologies in advance if this is a 'true' macro forum only.

This is one of my favorites from this past fall. The gills remind me of tiny stalactites.



Taken with a manual Zuiko 90mm f2 macro lens mounted on an E-300 body. Mid-morning near a river with a tripod assist. 1/10 sec @ f8 or so.

One question though...does the lighting work or is it too flat?? I've been looking at it so long, I can't tell anymore.

Wonderful capture !

Very nice image. I don't know what 'true macro' is, but this certainly seems on target to me.

Thanks both of you.
Some macro snobs only accept life sized images or greater (ie 1:1 ratios or greater), the rest they consider close-ups and get all uppity. I'm more flexible and glad this forum is, too.

I can't speak for anyone else, but what I look for is interesting closeup images that show me things I would not see otherwise, if I were just walking along. Your image does that for me.
