Tier: amateur
I remember the time when this photo was taken, I was testing some cheapo lens and some macro adapter, I wanted to see how cheap can I go and get decent result. For about 10 dollars (lens + lens adapter) I got something like this, I'm pretty satisfied with result. I also wanted to give direction to some people who are starting doing photography as their hobby, you don't need expensive lenses, cameras, equipment to get beautiful images, you just need to love what you are doing and results will be perfect.
I also made post about your contest, there are few additional photos that are not in this contest and I wanted to explain why I tiered myself as amateur. :)
Good luck to everyone!
Great shot! I love macro photos! Love the coloring in this one.
