One thing I realised when taking these photos was exactly how much the extreme close ups reveal little niggles with my minis if I could see them without the aid of macro photography. I've decided not to agonise over this, even though I know the niggles are there and instead will reflect on what I can see and try not to make the same mistakes again ( Read more... )
