This is a hard one because most of my photos are taken with my macro lens!
There are so many to pick from, but here is my most recent favorite. To me, it captures the mystical beauty found in the small details of an aquascape.
I don’t count this one for the competition, but I wanted to share it for fun. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever taken a better photo of my inhabitants together than the one below in the same setting.
Taken with my old Canon EOS Rebel T6i with EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM.
Settings: ISO 250 | 60mm | f/3.2 | 1/80s
