That's not how I read it. The subject is not the whole cat but the part of it that you are taking a picture of. It could be a patch of skin or a single hair.

The defenition of macro in photography read: 1:1 reproduction ratio. Often close-up photography is falsely labeled as "macro" but most of the time a closeup isn't a true macro. True macro means that an our subject appears in real life size in the photo. That means if you would print it then 1cm in the picture should be still 1cm in the print.
With the tiny sensors we have in our phones means we have a lot of enlarging to do to meet this criteria of "true" macro.

ITYM ">=1:1" and ">=1cm".

Nokia N9 with camera+. Is this enough Macro?

Wow! Talk about raising the bar for this months competition...

Ya, I never figured that one out . . . Perhaps it means a feature of interest in the photo is the subject, like an elephant's hair, not the necessarily the entire elephant -- but at this point I'm in WAG territory.

I'm gonna go for a tightly-framed extreme close-up and call it good.

I don't know macro, but I know what I like. Looks good to me -- what have we got there, a swallowtail? Looks like it's already had a nice meal there.
