 The kitty-cat's play area, as seen through his asshole.

Getting the camera into the cat was the most difficult. I had to set the timer to 20 seconds, shove it into the cat, then hold him still. I pre-focused the lense, then duct-taped it so it wouldn't move. After I heard the shutter click, he ran into some bushes. I spent about 10 minutes trying to recover the cat, or kiss the camera good-bye. I had to buy about 15 soft tooth brushes to clean the camera. It'll be a while before the smell goes away.

Adjusted saturation, contrast, sharpness, and vibrance. Then cropped it to center the image. I added a huge black border to help make it look more like I'm looking out an orifice from the inside. Then I completed the border and submitted.

Yeah yeah yeah, I don't have a macro lense yet. DNMC? Probably. 2nd brown ribbon? Maybe. Hope you all get a good laugh.

This looks like it was taken from beneath a cat! Not sure it is a macro but it is a puzzle, LOL.

I don't get this one at all...I don't see a macro at all, but rather some out of focus object. There's nothing here which holds my attention or draws me into the image.

Is that what a cat sees? Or the last vision of a mouse before he disappeared...? *shivers*

whaaa? what are you going for here?

Um...a cat jumping over the camera which is inside a cardboard box with a hole cut in it? This is funny, but it isn't going to get a good score from me. The only thing that is close to macro is the out of focus cat leg (that's what I'm calling it, anyway), and the total image area is really small.

did you drop a cat of the roof just to get this picture?? ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

At first I thought it was looking through a door peep hole, but it may be looking through a hole in the fence into someone's yard. Peeping Tom.

I can see a tree and bushes and grass, which aren't macro, and whatever the close up thing is that I would assume is the subject is out of focus.

a cats paw? I can't really say this is pleasing, but it is puzzling. Why the black circle outline?
