New Contest Super Macrophotography Week 22 | World Of Xpilar | Justicia calyculata Deflers

Hello steemit friends back again with @girls-steem. In today's post, I'm back in participating in a contest held by @sultan-aceh, namely CONTEST MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY, this contest is directly supported by @xpilar who acts as a Leader, and also the admin of the XPILAR DUNIA community.
Today I'm going to show you one of the pictures I took using macro photography techniques. On this occasion I will show you one type of grass flower that I managed to catch through my cellphone camera. I found this flower while I was walking around my house. I caught this flower using my cellphone camera and was assisted by a macro lens, because this flower has a very small size, so I had to use a macro lens so that the flower results were better. Here is the resulting image that I have prepared for viewing.
