I personally feel Macro should be as good as as a close up and not beyond that but yes..... it doesn have its curiosity and gives a new look as it can go beyond what a naked eye can see.  Like there are many pics posted at RR which show Super macro x 2 giving details of the eyes of bugs and bees......... as close as showing the tiny turf of hair on their body.  They do add a surprise element to the image  but I personally like the Macros......... like danobs buttys........ they were an inspiration for me and they still are.  It is close but not too close.
