This a a two-for image. If you look at the circled area (full-size), you will see a small green spider. Perhaps I should also post under "Insects"? :) I did not notice the spider until I processed the image at 1:1 in Lightroom. Nice lens the Tamron.

Frankly, one of those curious arguments which I sidestep by not labeling a photo as anything in particular. Here is a good cut at the description of a macro.

 

The classic definition of macro photography is that the image projected onto the digital sensor (or film plane) should be the same size as the subject. With a 1:1 ratio, a DSLR with a full-frame chip should be able to produce life-size magnification and focus on an area as small as 24x36mm. Lens Reviews

GC, is your question intended to be satirical?

Michael, it was more rhetorical than satirical. But as you have answered I do have a problem with some of the posts in the "Macro Forum".

The definition supplied by Sandy is the usual one referenced , but expecting 1:1 is may be a step to far. My most used lens for close-ups is only 1:2, surely some attempt at close focus is needed or what's the point.

BR...............GC.
