Macro Monday Brings The First Official Mystery Macro Contest

Let’s do it.

I’ve put together 15 macro photos here, some new, some older, with the idea that you will go through these and take a guess at what they are. When you guess, get as close and as specific as you can. Saying “a waterdrop” isn’t inaccurate, but on what does the drop sit? Do as best as you can. Some of these are easier, some of these are trickier.

Person who gets closest will get…

Um, let’s go with “a prize.” No idea what. I’ve got books, I’ve got other random things to give out, we’ll figure it out. If you’re US-based, it’ll get easier to mail you something, but even if you’re international we’ll figure out a prize for you.

Rules are:

One entry (i.e. list of guesses) per person.

Make your guesses by the end of Monday, April 3rd, 11:59PM EST.

Use the comments below to get in your guesses. Chronology matters, so if for some reason you tie with another person, the first one to get in the correct guesses matters. Please note the number of the photo in each guess (each photo’s number sits below the photo it identifies, by the way).

I’ll be gone from Thursday to Monday, so I’ll do my best to approve comments if they’re in moderation, but sometimes traveling can make it tricky. I’ll make sure to get them all approved by next Tuesday (the 4th), which is likely when I’ll figure the winners, because unless some manner of chaos occurs, I will have gotten back home by then.

(For those that don’t know, hey, I’m at Wondercon in Anaheim, CA this weekend. Come see me! You can nab the Wondercon schedule here. Coolest thing is, I’m doing a Spotlight panel on Sunday, an audience Q&A moderated by the inimitable Delilah S. Dawson, so come by and say hi.)

Anyway. Behold the photos below. Make your guesses!
