I took a perfectly normal close-up picture of a pretty butterfly, and then zoomed in and saw what it really looks like... Sort of scary!

Does this count as macro? It's actually a crop of a larger image, in which the butterfly was probably about 1/10 of the image area, which makes me think maybe it doesn't... What's the rule?

    Theres not outright rule, if I think it doesn't belong here,
    I will move it to "Other Cool Shots"

    Sure I will let you call it a Macro :D

    Considering the butterly head is so small the eyes just don't look right when you see them close up do they.

    The eyes of a Praying Mantis are quite amazing they you can see them following you

    Butterflies look quite "fluffy" close up too, yet when you look at the wing,
    it reminds me of a blanket weave... more like cloth.

    I never tire of seeing things close up :D
    Thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Lovely capture :)

    Butterflies often look odder than this close up- many have hairy eyes :)
