Welcome to our 5th competition for the best Macro Shot of 2012 on GC..!! A subject for us all...
I have added leaves & seeds now as well because it has been such a funny old year.. This can be a shot of a flower, leaf or seed in any stage of growth.. This comp will run through the Summer and Autumn Months to see what we can see...

There have been some superb flower photos posted by lots of you now as most of us have Macro buttons or even in some cases macro lenses.. It was such a sucess last year.. Let's see if we can do better this year..!!
