It's a Featured Picture on Wikimedia Commons. It's indicated.--ComputerHotline (talk) 20:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's not a FP here. Commons and en-WP FPs are different. howcheng {chat} 03:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Close-up photography

You'll need to explain why it's not the same thing, not just say it, otherwise someone else is likely to do the same thing. -- Patchy1 09:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because close-up photography is where the reproduction ratio is from 1:10 to 1:1. More of "macro" photographs are really close-up photographs. --ComputerHotline (talk) 10:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Repeating the content of the article doesn't help me to understand the difference. In any case, the difference doesn't appear to be significant, so I would suggest adding a new section to Close-up about the differences you are referring to, because as it stands the titles of the two articles are ambiguous and you need to provide enough context so that someone unfamiliar with the subject can understand what your talking about. At the end of the day your article will be redirected to the existing article. -- Patchy1 11:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
