Macro or not?
5

Recently I posted an image of a tiger swallowtail  in flight that I considered  macro but one of the commenters did not. My understanding is that if the subject appears larger than life, it's macro. I consider this monarch in flight, viewed at 100 it is larger than life, am I mistaken? Thanks.
